This One Pot Chili Cheese Pasta was ready in under 20 minutes, and everything cooks in the same skillet, even the pasta! Woohoo! This dish was inspired by one of my favorite tailgating dip – Chili Cheese Dip. The dip is incredible and it always the first thing to go at our tailgates! I decided to take those amazing flavors and put it in an easy one pot pasta dish. If the dip was good, I was sure that it would be even better in a yummy pasta dish. I was right this stuff was amazing! We both gobbled this up and went back for seconds. Chicken Legs has already requested this for dinner again next week. It is perfect for watching football!!

I do not always feel like cooking so, when I do I cook a lot and freeze the dish. It looks like this recipe could do that, minus the cheese on top. If so, like most recipes take out the day before using and put in refrigerator to unthaw, then reheat on stove top an once heated add cheese on top?
Wow…Really good. So easy to make. I will be making this again and again.
Wow..really good. So easy to make. This is going to be made a lot in my house.
Do you drain the tomatoes?
I did not drain them.
I was wondering what brand of chili you used. Thank you!
I used Hormel
