Cajun Style Chili Mac

• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 8 ounces hamburger patties, chopped into small pieces (I used leftovers from Cajun Beef Burgers )
• 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can of chili seasoned tomatoes (do not drain )
• 1 (15 ounce) can red kidney beans (do not drain )
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1 cup water
• 1 1/4 cups rotini pasta (or you can use any other similar pasta )
• 1 1/2 ounces monterey jack pepper cheese

1. In a large skillet over medium heat add the oil, heat oil until hot but not smoking.
2. Add chopped patties, and lightly brown.
3. Then add all ingredients,( if not using seasoned patties,add Cajun Seasoning) except the pasta and bring to a boil.
4. After mixture has started to boil add pasta, cover and reduce heat to medium low.
5. While pasta is cooking, stir occasionally to prevent sticking.(You might need a bit more water to completely cook pasta.).
6. After cooking, add pepperjack cheese, and stir to melt.
