Chili Pasta Skillet Recipe
If you live in the south or have ever visited for longer than five minutes during the summer, you know it’s sweltering hot! So much so that during those hot, humid southern days, warm chili is not something we eat too often. But we love it so much in our house that as soon as the trees barely begin turning vivid hues of red, orange, or we have the promise of a crisp, cool evening, I start longing for something warm and comforting like my homemade Black Bean Chili and this Chili Pasta Skillet!
This is such a warm, hearty, satisfying and easy comfort meal that I love making it all during the cooler months. And it’s perfect when I don’t have lots of time, too. Plenty of flavor to delight the tastebuds, without having to stand in the kitchen all afternoon to make it. I also love that with it being a one pot dish, I wouldn’t have to spend any time at all cleaning up either!
Here’s how I make it.
How to Make Chili Pasta Skillet
I start with my favorite black bean chili recipe. It is a favorite of ours and has plenty of flavor without having to simmer all day. I toss the ground beef, onion and garlic into a big skillet and cook until the ground beef is browned and the onions and garlic are tender and fragrant.
Then, I add in the spices and allow them to cook just a bit in the skillet and then stir them into the beef and onion mixture. I think this adds so much flavor to a dish quickly and is one of my favorite little time saving tricks.
Next, I add all of the other ingredients, including this adorable little pasta that I enjoy using, and allow it to cook, stirring it often, until the pasta cooks to just the right amount of firmness for my liking.
Then I add the cheese, let it melt and then serve it!
It is always fabulous and instantly makes me feel better if I am ever a little under the weather.
It also makes a delicious dish for serving on game day or even for a Halloween get togethers! Warm and comforting, I think it will be a favorite at your house like it is mine!

I’m about to make this- can’t wait! In the instructions where is says put in the tomatoes, does that refer to the can of crushed tomatoes from the chili recipe and the tomato sauce?
I LOVE one pot meals and this looks so good!
What a perfect, hearty meal for the winter!
