Cajun Style Chili Mac image

I had a couple of leftover hamburger patties from Recipe #276437 by Becky in Wisconsin and really didn't want to reuse them the same way, so I came up with this recipe. If your try this,please feel free to change the amount of seasonings according your tastes.If you use regular hamburger patties add about 1 1/2 teaspoons of any type of Cajun Seasoning to the recipe, I recommend Recipe #33092.Submitted to Food.com (a.k.a.

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
8 ounces hamburger patties, chopped into small pieces (I used leftovers from Cajun Beef Burgers )
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can of chili seasoned tomatoes (do not drain )
1 (15 ounce) can red kidney beans (do not drain )
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon oregano
1 cup water
1 1/4 cups rotini pasta (or you can use any other similar pasta )
1 1/2 ounces monterey jack pepper cheese

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium heat add the oil, heat oil until hot but not smoking.
  • Add chopped patties, and lightly brown.
  • Then add all ingredients,( if not using seasoned patties,add Cajun Seasoning) except the pasta and bring to a boil.
  • After mixture has started to boil add pasta, cover and reduce heat to medium low.
  • While pasta is cooking, stir occasionally to prevent sticking.(You might need a bit more water to completely cook pasta.).
  • After cooking, add pepperjack cheese, and stir to melt.
