1
Heat a Dutch oven or large 12-inch pot over medium heat.

Add ground beef, allow it to cook and stir to crumble as you go.
3
When browned, drain off as much grease as you can.
4
Add in spices, bell pepper, and the drained and rinsed red beans.
5
Add the un-drained cans of tomatoes with green chilies, stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce and water and bring mixture to a simmer.

Then pour in the uncooked pasta.
7
Cover the pot and let the mixture simmer for 12 minutes (see note), stirring occasionally.

Stir in 3/4 of the cheese then sprinkle the last 1/4 over the top.

Note: I used Barilla Gluten-Free Penne Pasta.
12
The cook time on the box says 10 minutes but this was perfect for me at 12 minutes.
13
I have not made this with any other type of pasta.

So, I recommend checking the cook time on the box and checking your pasta for tenderness, as all cook times may vary.
