I made a lot of changes and this recipe is very forgiving. i used hamburger meat, forgot the tomatoes, used the green onions instead of white or yellow, and left out the hiot pepper sauce and allowed the hubby to add according to his own taste b\/c when making something spicey the next day when you heat up left overs it is still spice but 10 times more so. I plan on trying this recipe again and make even more changes by putting a can of corn in it, just to add another texture. i may try using rice instead of pasta next time also just to see how it will be. When i reheated the left overs my pasta was a little mushy\/nasty (cheap cheap pasta makes left overs cry) SO i also think that mebbe a little less pasta and adding to bowls before serving. will also try adding some cilantro next time. you can really try to add or leave out or substitute anything i think in this recipe.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2010-02-13","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"GreenScissors"},"reviewBody":"My husband doesn't always eat leftovers - but he absolutely loved this and ate it several times!","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2011-10-03","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"RedMustache"},"reviewBody":"I substituted 2 teaspoons of Tabasco Chipotle sauce for the hot sauce and that gave it a nice smoky flavor.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2011-10-08","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"RedFish"},"reviewBody":"for us I won't take the seeds out of the jalapenos next time, but it was very tasty as stated.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2011-10-14","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"GreenFlower"},"reviewBody":"quick and easy to make, whole family liked","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2011-10-20","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"BlueCarrot"},"reviewBody":"Quick, easy and filling recipe.

So good! We served with the Quick Avocado Tomato salad and it was a terrific meal.<\/p>
I made as directed, except used Ronzoni Smart Taste, instead of whole wheat. Since my kids were also eating this I only used the minimum recommended amounts (2 jalapenos, 2 tsp of chili powder and 1 TBS of (Franks) hot sauce); it was a perfect compromise on heat. We did dollop with light sour cream and liked it better with it than without.

Quick, easy and filling recipe. Always looking for ways to use ground turkey and beans so this was great. Can't always handle spicy foods so I only used one jalapeno pepper and did the minimum suggestion on the other spices. Glad I did. Even my husband, who can always handle spicy things, was glad I didn't use more spices. I believe I'll use rice next time, instead of the pasta.

Simply wonderful! I made a lot of changes and this recipe is very forgiving. i used hamburger meat, forgot the tomatoes, used the green onions instead of white or yellow, and left out the hiot pepper sauce and allowed the hubby to add according to his own taste b\/c when making something spicey the next day when you heat up left overs it is still spice but 10 times more so. I plan on trying this recipe again and make even more changes by putting a can of corn in it, just to add another texture. i may try using rice instead of pasta next time also just to see how it will be. When i reheated the left overs my pasta was a little mushy\/nasty (cheap cheap pasta makes left overs cry) SO i also think that mebbe a little less pasta and adding to bowls before serving. will also try adding some cilantro next time. you can really try to add or leave out or substitute anything i think in this recipe.<\/p>","CommentId":35,"DateRated":"09\/30\/2011 23:15","GUID":"503b4a24b57c471d94b45656c9874617","MemberId":6142659,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"CJTaters","SubmittedDate":"09\/30\/2011 23:15"},{"Comment":"

So delicious! I used Ro-Tel tomatoes with chilies in place of the jalapenos diced tomatoes, just because I had some in the pantry. And I doubled the tomato sauce on the advice of other reviews. This is definitely going into the cold-weather rotation!<\/p>","CommentId":49,"DateRated":"01\/19\/2011 10:11","GUID":"b859eb7b7f6a445abeaf2ee6293cfa39","MemberId":3617870,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"carolanne1210","SubmittedDate":"01\/19\/2011 10:11"},{"Comment":"
Made this for my church home group and they loved it. Just enough kick! I served it with sour cream and cheese on top!

I think I would do everything the same and try rice mixed in instead of the macaroni!<\/p>","CommentId":51,"DateRated":"01\/08\/2011 15:20","GUID":"619749dc63ae45259bed534636cb9aa1","MemberId":4832312,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"transou4","SubmittedDate":"01\/08\/2011 15:20"},{"Comment":"
Very good. Didn't put hot sauce and used green chilis on hand instead of jalape\u00f1o and was great!<\/p>","CommentId":52,"DateRated":"01\/06\/2011 19:31","GUID":"11481508cb2442bc9637b7d48b35d0d2","MemberId":4011946,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"emsgatorgirl","SubmittedDate":"01\/06\/2011 19:31"},{"Comment":"
My family likes this twist on chili. The black beans really give it substance. I add a little extra water to it though because the noodles tend to absorb the liquid leaving it a little dry.<\/p>","CommentId":53,"DateRated":"10\/24\/2010 16:42","GUID":"57561bdd59d6486e8999f379bd9c6f2d","MemberId":3926526,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"hrcamel","SubmittedDate":"10\/24\/2010 16:42"},{"Comment":"

Tasty and balanced with macaroni and black beans. We added a chopped bell pepper because we love the extra flavor. If making ahead, add extra sauce.<\/p>","CommentId":55,"DateRated":"02\/24\/2010 15:21","GUID":"7b179a40d5404d6fac3ceddd47e56bd0","MemberId":4615223,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"jmscoker","SubmittedDate":"02\/24\/2010 15:21"},{"Comment":"
