Preparation
1
Cook penne

  • Before starting, preheat the broiler to high.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil (use same for 4 servings). Wash and dry all produce.
  • Add penne to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min.
  • Reserve 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) pasta water, then drain and return penne to the same pot, off heat.

2
Cook beef and peppers

  • Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
  • While the pan heats, core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • When hot, add beef to the dry pan. Cook for 4-5 min, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains.** Carefully drain and discard excess fat.
  • Add peppers, then sprinkle with Enchilada Spice Blend. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1 min, stirring often, until fragrant.

3
Cook sauce

  • Add crushed tomatoes, salsa and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar to the pan with beef and peppers. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
  • Bring to a simmer over high. Once simmering, reduce heat to medium.
  • Cook for 4-5 min, stirring occasionally, until peppers are tender-crisp.

4
Finish prep

  • Meanwhile, thinly slice green onion.
  • Open one side of the package of tortilla chips. Gently crush tortilla chips in their package until broken into smaller pieces.

5
Finish bake

  • Add half the cheese, beef, sauce and reserved pasta water to the pot with penne. Stir to combine.
  • Transfer penne mixture to an 8x8-inch (9x13-inch) baking dish.
  • Sprinkle with crushed tortilla chips and remaining cheese.
  • Broil in the middle of the oven for 2-3 mi , until cheese melts. (TIP: Keep an eye on chips so they don't burn!)

6
Finish and serve

  • Divide penne between plates.
  • Dollop with sour cream. 
  • Sprinkle green onions over top.

7

If you've opted to get beef, omit oil, then add beef to the dry pan. Cook beef in the same way the recipe instructs you to cook the turkey.** Remove and discard excess fat, if desired.
