One-Pot Chili Mac image

This hearty entree is low in fat, but full of flavor. I love that you can cook the dried pasta right in the chili. One less pot to wash! This also reheats in the microwave perfectly. -Dawn Forsberg, Saint Joseph, Missouri

This recipe is a fail. The macaroni and cheese was overcooked and the chili was too watery.

I followed the recipe exactly and my chili mac turned out really bland. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

This chili mac is a bit too spicy for me, but it's still really good. I'll just have to use less chili next time.

I wasn't sure how I would feel about chili and macaroni and cheese together, but I was pleasantly surprised! The flavors really complement each other.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chili. I always have some in the freezer and it's so convenient to just throw it in a pot with some macaroni and cheese.

I love that this recipe is customizable. I added some chopped bell pepper and corn to mine and it turned out great!
