Chili Pasta Casserole
8 ounces uncooked wagon wheel or other pasta
1 pound lean ground sirloin or ground turkey (I used ground beef)
3/4 c. chopped green bell pepper (I didn't use it)
3/4 c. chopped onion (I used 1 TBSP dry onion)
1 can stewed tomatoes
1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp ground allspice
1/2 c. shredded cheese (I used 1 cup)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook pasta according to package. Drain, rinse, and set aside.
Spray large skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Add meat, green pepper and onion. Cook 5 mins or until meat is not pink, stirring frequently.
Stir in tomatoes, tomato sauce, black pepper, and allspice. Cook 2 mins. Stir in pasta. Spoon into casserole dish and top with cheese. Bake 20-25 mins or until heated through.
To freeze: Do not cook pasta completely, keep firm. Mix ingredients all together, freeze.
Thaw, put in casserole dish, top with cheese and bake.

I added a can of hot chilli to this for a little extra zip. My family loved it. Also I cooked it on the stove top in a skillet instead of in my oven and it worked great.
