Chili Cheese One Pot Pasta

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 small onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1lb ground beef or turkey
• 1lb rotini
• 1 can beans, rinsed and drained
• 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 can (28oz) diced tomatoes
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 2 tsp cumin
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 cup shredded cheddar

Instructions

1. In a large Dutch oven or soup pot heat olive oil over medium high.
2. Add onion and sauté until it begins to soften; between 3 and 4 minutes.
3. Add garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
4. Add ground beef and cook until it’s no longer pink. Use the side of your spoon to break it into small pieces.
5. Add spices and cook for an additional minute.
6. Add rotini, beans, broth and tomatoes.
7. Once the mixture reaches a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook for about 20 minutes or until the liquid is all absorbed and the pasta is cooked through.
8. *Be sure to stir the pasta every two minutes or so because it loves to stick to the bottom of the pot.
9. Add cheddar cheese and stir until it’s completely melted.
10. Serve with more shredded cheddar, sour cream and green onion.
11. Enjoy!
