“The best parts of hearty chili and comforting mac and cheese combined into one spectacular skillet.”

1Ingredients

1.5 lbs ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
2 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
4 cups beef broth
16 oz elbow macaroni
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

2Instructions

1

In a very large skillet or Dutch oven, brown ground beef and chopped onion over medium-high heat until beef is cooked through. Drain excess fat.

2

Stir in chili powder and cumin, cooking 1 minute until fragrant.

3

Add kidney beans, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beef broth. Bring to a rolling boil.

4

Stir in dry macaroni pasta. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender.

5

Remove from heat. Stir in 1 cup of cheddar cheese until melted into the sauce.

6

Sprinkle remaining 1 cup of cheese over the top, cover 2 minutes until melted, and serve.

Pro Tip
