Chili and Cheddar Bow Tie Casserole

1 (7oz) can chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/2 cup diced Canadian bacon (about 2 oz)
1 cup thinly sliced green onions
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 1/4 cups 2% reduced-fat milk
2 cups (8 oz) shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
8 cups hot cooked farfalle (bow tie pasta) or other short pasta
Cooking spray

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Remove 1 teaspoon adobo sauce and 1 chile from canned chiles; mince the chile. Place remaining sauce and chiles in a zip-top plastic bag and freeze for future use.

Melt butter in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper and bacon; saut? 4 minutes. Add onions; saut? 1 minute. Stir in the adobo sauce, minced chile, flour, chili powder, salt and cumin; cook 1 minute. Gradually add milk; cook until thick and bubbly (about 4 minutes), stirring constantly with a whisk. Remove from heat. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups cheese and cilantro, stirring until cheese melts. Add pasta to pan; toss well.

Spoon the pasta mixture into a 11x7-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle 1/2 cup cheese over pasta mixture. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 mins or until browned. Yield: 6 servings


Cooks note: I could not find the prepared can of whole chiles with the sauce so I just used the can of diced green chiles I found in the Mexican food isle and threw in what looked to be the right amount.

Enjoy!
