"My mom used to make this when we were growing up. This is not her exact recipe, I wrote it down as I went. We don't follow recipes or measure frequently made foods in my family. I learned to cook by watching and doing, so I have to write down as I go on a lot of recipes. You can adjust the spices to suit your taste. I use more, because I like it hot. You can leave out the beef and use as a side dish."

  1. wow very very good! I made just a few changes for what I had on hand. not much different from the original.<br/>No crushed red pepper: Used 1 Tbsp srircha instead, no green chilies: used 1 can mild rotel and 1 can of petite diced tomatoes instead of the 3 cans recipe called for. we topped ours with a mix of cheddar and Monterey jack cheese. OH and I didn't have regular chili powder so I had to use HOT Mexican chili powder. we will definitely have this again. I might even tone down the heat and make for a pot luck!
     
  2. Great flavor and perfect amount of heat for a side dish!!! I omitted the ground beef, diced green chilies and cheddar cheese because I didn't have them on hand. Also, I substituted 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes for the ground red pepper and changed the pasta measurements to 4 oz. orzo and 8 oz. fideos. This was a side dish to our dinner and I will definitely be making this again!
     
  3. I made this for dinner for my family and we all loved it. I used garlic powder because I didnt have any garlic salt and just added a tsp. of kosher salt too. Also I didnt have beef bouillion so I used 2 cups hot beef broth instead of the bouillion and the water. It was a bit spicy but we all like it hot. Will be making again for sure. My boys were scooping up leftovers with nacho doritos!! Thanks for a great recipe.
     
  4. I made this last night for dinner and we all liked it a lot. I have to admit I cut back the heat drastically, because we're all wimps here. I also used ground chicken so I switched the boullion to chicken.But it was very tasty and very easy to throw together. Thanks!

I'm Islandgirl, also known as Iggy, by my Recipezaar Chat buddies. I've been a member of Recipezaar since I found the site on March 17, 2005. I came looking for some St. Patrick's Day recipes and I've been here ever since. I have 3 sons, a cat & a dog. I was born and raised on the Gulf Coast of Texas. I'm happy to say, I just recently moved back to my hometown after living away for over 20 years. Some of my hobbies are taking photos of the local wildlife and scenery,beachcombing,studying the history of my island and my family genealogy, checking out the local art galleries and thrift shops and of course, cooking. <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://w12.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w12.photobucket.com/albums/a242/IG77551/island%20pictures/1175437116.pbw" height="180" width="600"></embed><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/getyourown.gif" style="border-width: 0;" vspace="1"></a> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/untitled_1.jpg" border="0" alt="Image hosting by Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/untitled.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/200_artistrichardneuman-art-prints_.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"> <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a242/IG77551/cookswithcattitude.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a>
