  • 1 small green bell pepper, chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 1 chipotle chili in adobo sauce, from 7-oz can, seeded and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon adobo sauce from can of chipotle chilies
  • 3/4 cup chili sauce
  • 3/4 cup Progresso™ beef flavored broth (from 32-oz carton)
  • 1 can (15 oz) Progresso™ black beans, drained, rinsed

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 avocado, peeled, pitted and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Cook bacon in 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp. Stir in onion and bell pepper. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender. Stir in chipotle chili and adobo sauce. Cook and stir 1 minute. Stir in chili sauce and broth. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in beans; heat through.
  • 2
    Cook and drain pasta as directed on package.
  • 3
    While pasta is cooking, heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Sprinkle beef with garlic pepper, salt and chili powder. Grill beef 4 to 6 inches from medium heat 8 to 12 minutes for medium doneness, turning once.
  • 4
    To serve, toss pasta with about 1 cup sauce. Cut beef across grain into thin slices; arrange over pasta mixture. Drizzle and serve with remaining sauce. Garnish with avocado and cilantro.

  • Bow-tie pasta can be used in place of the mini-lasagna noodles.
  • Beef sirloin steak is a tender and less-expensive cut of meat, which makes it a good choice for entertaining a group. You could also use strip steak, which is more tender but also more expensive.
  • Chipotle chilies are often sold canned in adobo sauce, which is a smoky, spicy chili-based concoction. Look for the chilies in larger supermarkets or Mexican markets.
