I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chili mac turned out really dry. I think I might have added too much bread crumbs.

This recipe is a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less chili next time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chili. I always have chili leftover after a party and this is the perfect way to use it up.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add more cheese. I love cheese!
