This hearty entree is low in fat, but full of flavor. I love that you can cook the dried pasta right in the chili. One less pot to wash! This also reheats in the microwave perfectly. —Dawn Forsberg, Saint Joseph, Missouri

Flavorful, without all the fat. The only thing I changed was the chili powder, I put 1 1/2 teaspoons instead of 2. Don't leave out the cilantro, it's perfect.

I made this and it's absolutely wonderful. I did use 1/2 ground turkey and 1/2 ground beef. My husband loved it.

made with regular pasta and it was good, but not spicy, so take that into consideration if you like hot chili.

With the pasta added this recipe is more like an adult version of chili mac. That said, it's not bad if you aren't expecting chili. I watch my sodium, so I made it even healthier bu using cooked (not canned) pinto beans, home made low-sodium chicken broth, no salt added tomatoes. I didn't use the sour cream because somehow I just couldn't picture that, and I didn't really want a creamy taste. I also added a can of diced green chilis. I got 8 very hearty servings out of it, and with my ingredients that brought the calorie count down to 254 calories and lowered the sodium to 195 mg. Which means I can have it for lunch!!

This was a hit at my house. I added some chipotle seasoning that I had in the cupboard, but that was the only modification I made to the recipe. And I'm on Weight Watchers, so this was filling without racking up the points. (only 9 PointsPlus per serving!)

I used whole grain pasta, black beans (instead of pinto), and 93% FF hamburger (instead of turkey) and LOVED IT!!!! I don't always eat chili leftovers but this recipe was DELICIOUS!!

I found if you make the pasta (any kind) seperate then add it at the end it is not mushey and the pasta will not take the taste of the spices out.In addition I added more spices,plus jalapinio(hot peppers) slices at the end and it was not bland tasting.Don't be afraid to spice up the ground turkey(if you use this) befor you cookit.Ground turkey has a bland taste to start..Hey go bold..it works.

I was so pleased to find a recipe that I actually had most of the ingredients. I substituted macaroni for the penne because I didn't have any. I also did not put the sour cream and cilantro on it. I didn't have pinto beans so I substituted some black beans I had. It was very good. My husband even liked it, so that is a winner any time he likes a recipe I try. I definitely will make this again. I will try to make it with FF turkey breast some time in the future.

Needed some more chili powder and cumin. Also could add some ground red pepper for some kick. Overall, very good. My husband loved it and went back for 3rds.

It looked so good and I thought with all those spices it is going to be wonderful. Think again it was very bland and salt didn't even help much. Probably won't make this again.
