Beef Enchilada Pasta



I found a recipe for Chicken Enchilada Penne on Pinterest, but made it with hamburger and left out all the spices such as Cumin and Cayenne as well as the green chiles.


1 lb Ground Beef

2 tbsp. olive oil

1/2 tsp Minced Garlic

1 tbs Minced Onion

1/2 tsp. salt

Dash of red pepper flakes

2 (10 oz.) cans of green chili enchilada sauce

1 (10 oz.) can of red enchilada sauce

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup sour cream

1 box Whole Wheat Penne pasta

Cook and drain penne as directed on the box and put back in pot. Brown the ground beef in a buttered skillet. Add onions and olive oil. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the sauces and the other spices/seasonings and cook for 8-10 minutes. Mix in cheese and sour cream until well mixed together on a low heat. Pour sauce over penne and mix well. Top pasta with sour cream, cheese, avocados, and/or tomatoes and enjoy. Serves 6 people.
