CHICKEN PASTA ALFREDO

This is the easiest casserole you will ever make! It's what I call a "throw together" meal.

1 lb Rotini Pasta
2 large cans of chicken
Alfredo sauce. 1 lg. bottle any kind. (you may want to use more if you'd like it creamier)
2 Tbs minced garlic
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Red flaked peppers
1 bag frozen peas
1/2  onion diced
Mozzarella shredded cheese
Dried onions

Boil the pasta as the directions say. Meanwhile "throw together" the Alfredo sauce with all  spices and onions and heat in the microwave for 2 minutes. Drain canned chicken, break into small pieces and add to the heated Alfredo. Heat the peas in the microwave as directions say and add to mixture.
Pour the mixture over the drained cooked pasta and coat all. Pour everything into a pan. Cover with cheese (I use a lot of mozzarella cheese) and then sprinkle with the dried onion as topping and bake uncovered 15 minutes at 350*  YUMMY!.

SWEET CHILI

2 lbs. ground beef
3 cans (16 oz) light red kidney beans (I do not drain)
1 can (28 oz) Crushed tomato in puree
1 cup coffee (yep)
1 bottle dark beer (optional -fortunately if you are like me and don't like dark beer they now sell them individually in some stores)
1 red onion (chopped up)
2 full tablespoons of minced garlic
1/2 cup packed brown sugar 
2 teas. Cumin
1 tbs. chili powder
1 teas black pepper
1 teas salt (I use sea salt)
1 teas garlic powder (yeah, I know I use 2 kinds)

Brown your ground beef. While doing that add all ingredients to a big pot. Add browned ground beef (which you have already drained) and simmer for an hour or so. Add sour cream and shredded cheese to top and it's a very good sweet chili!

As I said on my home page I would probably next time use 1/4 cup less sugar and add a little more chili seasoning or cumin. I like mine a little spicier but I did the sweet for my husband.
Enjoy! To go back to the blog, click here

SEVERAL TBS. OLIVE OIL
APPROX. 1 CUP BREAD CRUMBS
