Ingredients

  • 8 ounces bow tie pasta
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder (or chili seasoning)
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mexican, taco, pepperjack, whatever you like)
  • black olives, jalapenos, tomato (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Cook the pasta using package directions; drain.
  • Brown the beef in a skillet, stirring until crumbly; drain. Add the onion and green pepper and mix well. Cook until the onion is tender, stirring constantly.
  • Stir in the tomato sauce, chili powder, and salt.
  • Add in the drained pasta, sour cream, and salsa. If you're using black olive, jalapenos, and tomatoes, add those in too. Mix all together.
  • Pour into a 9×11-inch or 9×9-inch baking dish.
  • Sprinkle with the cheese.
  • Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until brown and bubbly.

Notes

Freezer Instructions: Prepare, but don't bake. Cover very well and put into freezer. When ready to bake, thaw out in the fridge for a day, then bake. You'll need to increase the baking time to about 45 minutes since it's starting out cold instead of hot-from-the-stove, but it's still good! You can also bake it straight from frozen, but that will really increase the baking time.
