We eat a lot of pasta at our house.  I mean a lot of pasta!  And a lot of the pasta we eat is what I call “homemade hamburger helper.”  Basically, I like to combine hamburger and pasta and whatever other flavors we have on hand or that sound good to me.

This green chile penne was one of those creations and it turned out so well that I just had to share the recipe with you.  The whole family loved it and it was mild enough for my kids but had enough flavor for the grownups as well.
