Tips:
- Use a Dutch oven or large pot: This will allow you to easily brown the ground beef and cook the chili in one pot. Enameled cast iron is a great choice because it can withstand high temperatures.
- Brown the ground beef in batches: This will help to prevent the beef from steaming and becoming tough.
- Use a variety of beans: This will add flavor and texture to the chili. Some good options include kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans.
- Add corn and diced green chilies: These will add sweetness and a bit of heat to the chili.
- Use a good quality chili powder: This is the key ingredient in chili, so don't skimp. Look for a chili powder that is made with a variety of chiles, including ancho, guajillo, and cayenne.
- Simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to develop and meld together.
- Serve the chili with your favorite toppings: Some good options include shredded cheese, sour cream, and diced avocado.
- Store the chili in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days: You can also freeze the chili for up to 3 months.
Conclusion:
One-pot chili mac is a delicious and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand. This dish is also a great way to use up leftover chili. Simply cook the macaroni according to the package directions and then add it to the chili.
