Time 1h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Coarse salt
2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni pasta
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 celery stalks, finely sliced
1 carrot, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup diced red onion
3 to 4 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound lean grass-fed ground beef
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
Two 14.5-ounce cans diced tomatoes (not drained)
One 8-ounce block mozzarella, shredded

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the elbow macaroni until just shy of al dente, about 5 minutes.
  • In the meantime, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the celery, carrot, bell pepper and red onion. Season with a pinch of salt and saute until the veggies begin to get tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, another 30 seconds.
  • Add the ground beef and brown it with the veggies, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Season with the cumin, chili powder and a pinch of salt; toss the beef and veggies around in the skillet another minute or two. Add the diced tomatoes and stir into the mix. Transfer the mostly-cooked elbow macaroni to the skillet and stir to combine.
  • Transfer the chili mac to any casserole dish you want! Sprinkle with the mozzarella and bake, uncovered, until the cheese is browned and bubbly, 30 to 40 minutes.

I'm not a big fan of chili, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The macaroni and cheese mellows out the spice of the chili. It's a great dish for people who like a little bit of heat.

I love this recipe because it's so versatile. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste. I like to add a little bit of sour cream and avocado to mine.

This dish is a great way to use up leftovers. I had some leftover chili and macaroni and cheese, and I just threw them together in a pot. It was so easy and it tasted great!
