This chili mac has regularly appeared on my family menus for more than 40 years, and it's never failed to please at potlucks and bring-a-dish gatherings. Sometimes I turn it into soup by adding a can of beef broth. &mdash;Marie Posavec, Berwyn, Illinois

I just used regular kidney beans in this 'cause I don't like things too spicy. But for aimee1963, I believe Heinz makes hot chili beans.

This was a "hit" with my family of 8.  We didn't have green peppers nor the hot chili beans.  I used two cans of hot chili and omitted the chili seasoning.  As it looked very thick I added a can of beef broth.  It turned out excellent.

This is a wonderful, filling meal. Smells wonderful while cooking!

My family loved this recipe and said I should make it often. I didn't cook it in the crockpot because I didn't get it in there in time. It turned out great.

A nice recipe; I love a good chili mac. I'll definitely make again, although I didn't use the crockpot.

Definitely a winner in my house! I substituted kidney beans for the hot chili beans since I have small children, but it was really good! A little cheese on top and it's a meal!

My family loves this easy supper. We dont like it too hot so I put red kidney beans in it. Also, I put diced tomatoes with chilies in it. I use wheat noodles instead of white to make it a little healthier. Serve with cheddar cheese, sour cream and maybe a sandwich! Great way to warm up on a cold day!

This was so easy to put together and I loved how it cooks in the slow cooker. I ate mine with a big of hot sauce dashed in it.

I realy loved this one, it had just the right amount of heat, and I love spicey food

my husband and I did not care for it-very disappointing

Loved this! So full of flavour with thick, chunky veggies. And it made a lot! Definite make again recipe!

I used kidney beans instead of chili beans, and condensed tomato soup instead of the tomato sauce. It turned out great for us too!

Made a double batch, added some extra chili powder, and red pepper flakes for a kick. It came out great! Keeping this as a go to recipe for sure! Next time I might add a can of Rotel tomatoes with jalapenos as well.For people looking for the hot beans, check near the baked beans. Target sells a medium chili bean that I bought, which is why I added red pepper flakes.

It was OK.  I added extra seasoning, but still needed a lot more.  It was a little bland.

I was disappointed with this recipe. I found it bland and felt it "needed something."

We had this delicious recipe tonight. I followed the recipe with two changes. I omitted the celery and added a can of Rotel tomatoes. It did not need 6 hours of cooking so we ate about an hour after I started the recipe. Delicious and perfect for cool Fall days. Volunteer Field Editor

Great family food. I really enjoyed topping it with the sliced jalapeno and pepper jack cheese along with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of corn chips.

Wonderful comfort food recipe thats easy to make. We're Texans so we added a little more jalapenos, cheese and sour cream as suggested and otherwise followed recipe as written. Will continue to make this chili, its great for a crowd!
