Quick & Easy "Chili Mac" Dinner
This is something that I grew up eating and I know that my children still get this in the schools sometimes as well! 😆🤦🏻♀️👍 A very popular (and fairly cheap) dish to make in our area. Hamburger is the cheapest meat you can get, canned beans are pretty inexpensive, and who doesn't have elbow macaroni noodles laying around? Amirite? 🤷🏻♀️🤣 You could use fresh or canned tomatoes and also make this with any beans that you have or choose. For that matter you could make this with any pasta as well. 😏👍🤷🏻♀️👌😎

This recipe uses the leftovers from my chili recipe that you can find published. I always put leftover chili in a 32oz mason jar and store in the freezer and this is a great reuse of it.

A great combination of chili and mac-n-cheese, two hearty classics. This meal comes together quickly and easily. Great to make as the weather starts to get chilly. It's also pretty easy to incorporate some extra veggies into here...you can add some diced carrot in with the peppers and onions or add some diced zucchini in with the pasta.
