MEXI GROUND BEEF CHILI MACARONI CASSEROLE
Sausage meat can be used in place of the ground beef, and any small pasta can be substituted for the macaroni. If you like more chili flavor then add in a couple tablespoons of chili powder. I have even added in some red kidney beans and sliced green olives to this casserole, but that is optional. This casserole can be completely prepared up to 24 hours in advance, cover the casserole dish tightly with plastic wrap, then refrigerate until ready to bake, increase the cooking time slightly. For taco seasoning see recipe #76616.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the macaroni, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook and stir the ground beef with onion until the meat is browned, about 10 minutes. Break the meat up into crumbles as it cooks; drain excess grease.

Tips:
- Use a variety of cheeses to create a flavorful and gooey mac and cheese. A combination of cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan is a classic choice, but you can also experiment with other cheeses such as Gruyère, fontina, or Gouda.
- Cook the macaroni al dente according to the package instructions. This will prevent it from becoming mushy in the casserole.
- Use a flavorful ground beef. Season it with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder before browning.
- Don't be afraid to add your own personal touch to the recipe. For example, you could add diced bell peppers, chopped onions, or a can of corn to the mac and cheese mixture.
- Serve the casserole immediately after baking. It's best enjoyed hot and bubbly.
