My Bloody Mary Chili

25 minutes || My rating: 10/10 || Difficulty rating: Easy

1. In a large pot, brown 1 pound of ground turkey (I used ground beef this time). Add 1 large diced onion, 2 cups of diced celery, and 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook until onions become translucent. 
   
2. In another pot, boil 1.5 cups of bow tie pasta. (I used quinoa in the above picture)
3. Add 2 can of mild chili beans, 2 cups of bloody mary mix (I prefer Mr & Mrs T’s Bold and Spicy), 1 can of tomato sauce, 1 can of diced tomatoes, 1 packet of mild chili seasoning, and 3 tablespoons of chili powder. Bring to a simmer. 
4. Add pasta to the mixture and let simmer for 5-10 minutes. Add hot sauce (I prefer Franks, but Tabasco is good, too) to your taste.
5. Serve with shredded cheddar, avocado, saltines & butter, fritos, or your favorite chili toppings!
