Last Minute Leah Lunch: Spicey Turkey Chili Mac

Today I threw together a few things we had sitting in the pantry at work and made a Spicey Turkey Chili Pasta Bake.

Makes 8 servings

Ingredients:
  • 1 can condensed tomato soup
  • 1 can turkey chili (such as 98% fat free or lean)
  • Onion, sliced or diced
  • 3.5 cups penne noodles, uncooked (about 6.5 servings cooked)
  • Creole seasoning to taste, you could also use a packet of taco seasoning
  • 1 cup of 2% milk cheddar cheese, divided


Directions:
  1. Cook pasta and preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. While pasta cooks, mix tomato soup, chili, 1/2 cup cheese, onions, and seasoning in a large bowl.
  3. When pasta is done cooking, mix pasta into the above mixture.
  4. Add mixture to an oven safe casserole dish and cover with tinfoil. Bake for 30-45 minutes.
  5. Remove tinfoil and add remaining 1/2 cup cheese to top and bake another 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted.  

Voila!


To create your own pasta bake, try mixing and matching your favorite condensed soups and or pasta sauces, lean meats, low fat cheeses (portion control is important), and veggies (frozen, fresh, or no salt added canned).
