Mexican Style Noodle Casserole - Spicy and Vegan

I saw this new product at the grocery store and just had to make something with it.


Upton's Chorizo Seitan is already spiced and crumbled.  I had some poblano peppers in my refrigerator so I made a noodle casserole.  It turned out so good.  Total comfort food!  If you can't find this product, substitute any spicy "sausage" that you enjoy.


Spicy Noodle Casserole

4 cups large macaroni
2 T. vegetable oil
2 large poblano peppers, roughly chopped
1 red bell pepper, roughly chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
1/2 cup yellow onion, diced
8 oz package Upton's Chorizo Seitan
24 oz jar of pasta sauce
2 cups Daiya Mozzarella Style Cheese

Cook the macaroni according to package directions.  Drain the noodles and pour into large mixing bowl.  In a large frying pan, saute all the peppers and onion in oil until soft.  Pour sauteed vegetables into mixing bowl.  Break the seitan into crumbles and cook in the same frying pan for a couple of minutes.  Pour seitan into mixing bowl.  Add the pasta sauce and cheese to bowl and mix well.  Spray a large glass baking dish with cooking spray.  Pour mixture into baking dish and cook at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
