I love tis diner style chili mac recipe. So good, and not too spicy!

Not My Mama's Chili Mac or Chili Three, Four or Five Ways

ground turkey or chicken or beef

onion

garlic

T ancho chili powder chile powder

T rojo chili powder

oregano

allspice

½ t smoked paprika

t cocoa

14 oz can diced tomatoes

onion soup mix

ketchup

T yellow mustard

t Frank’s hot sauce

c water or beef bouillon

pintos,

½ c grated cheddar cheese

Canned Parmesan cheese

½ lb cooked spaghetti or elbows

c ketchup (I’m a Heinz girl)

Worcestershire

T brown sugar

Brown turkey over medium heat and crumble it as it cooks.

Add onion and garlic and cook for about 2 minutes. Push to side and add chili powders, oregano, allspice, and paprika. Cook for a minute or so until spices are toasted. You will smell them.

Add can of tomatoes, cocoa, onion soup mix, ketchup, mustard and Frank’s hot sauce. Let simmer a few minutes until liquid has disappeared by about half.

Stir in can of beans. Now stir in water and let simmer about 10 minutes. It should still look like a thick gravy but not be so thick as to not have liquid. If you let it sit a bit too long and it gets too thick just add a little more water. It can take it!

Mix ingredients together and shake or stir until sugar dissolves.

BBQ Sauce

Place a serving of pasta on a plate. Top with several spoonfuls of chili. Spread the chili with 1 T  of BBQ sauce or to taste.

Top with some spoonfuls of diced onion and then the grated cheddar. Feel free to use the Parmesan out of a can. And just for good measure I topped my chili off with a few pepperoncini slices, but you could use jalapenos. If you like saltines-go for it!  Crumble a package of oyster crackers on top or some Saltines straight from the cellophane!

Assembly

Two classic comfort foods, macaroni and cheese and chili, come together to create this family favorite Chili Mac! This extra easy and flavor packed recipe is kid approved, only uses 6 ingredients, and is ready in under 20 minutes!

Chili Mac

(24 oz family size Mac and cheese)

lb lean ground meat*

10 oz can diced Rotel (do not drain)

chili beans

chili chili

Boil pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

While the pasta is boiling, brown the ground meat in a medium to large skillet, for 5 minutes. Add onion to ground meat continue cooking until meat is no longer pink and thoroughly cooked.

Make sure to separate meat while it’s cooking so that it is in small pieces. I use a potato masher to easily break apart meat. Drain any excess grease from pan, if needed.

Add the cooked pasta, rotel, chili beans and chili seasoning and stir well to combine.

Cook for 3 more minutes and then add the cheese from Mac &amp; cheese box and stir well.

Serve immediately.

Easy Chili Mac is a one pot recipe made in minutes.  It&#039;s flavorful ground beef chili cooked with macaroni noodles and topped with cheese.

Easy Chili Mac Recipe

90-93% beef

beef broth

can petite diced tomatoes

tomato sauce

Tablespoons chili powder

cumin

garlic powder

sugar

black pepper

elbow macaroni (about 2 cups)

For serving: shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, etc.

Add the ground beef and onion to a large soup pot and place it over medium-high heat.  Break the beef apart with a wooden spoon.  Cook for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and the onions are soft.

Add the broth, diced tomatoes (with their juices), tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, sugar, and pepper to the beef.  Stir well.  Bring the liquid to a simmer.

Add the macaroni.  Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender, about 12 minutes.

Serve topped with shredded cheddar, sour cream, etc.

Like others said, I like this recipe because it is without cheese inside.  I can replace the beef with Impossible Meat to make it vegetarian/vegan (with veggie broth) and the spice blend keeps the taste.  My kids love it!

Good and simple. I adjusted the seasoning to taste. Also added frozen corn.  Thank you for the recipe, will be making it again!

I have made chili Mac three times. The first time with kidney beans. LOVE,LOVE,LOVE it. I was looking for chili Mac made with macaroni and finally found the PERFECT recipe. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I tweaked this a little based on what I had on hand. Eating the pantry time. Used pork/beef mix(meatloaf mix), fire roasted tomatoes and beef stock. Not a fan of chili mac, but this turned out delicious. I like it less soupy, so I threw in a handful of instant rice to thicken. Seasoning was spot on. Served with shredded cheese, sour cream, guac and crushed Fritos. It’s good cold, too!

I was looking for a recipe like this one and without cheese in it. The cheese on top was good but I prefer the chili Mac without it. My husband and I liked the chili Mac VERY MUCH. I'm trying out your recipes and like what I see.THANK YOU!!!!

So good!!!! My first time making something like this, it turned out more just like chili with noodles (a Midwest thing adding noodles to chili) but I was wanting the Mac and cheese flavor represented more, so I added about 6 oz. (Maybe more?) of shredded cheese to the chili and that was the ticket for my taste!!! Will definitely make again! Thank you 😘

First time making this! I used ground turkey and red kidney beans. The cheese and sour cream was delicious on the dish. Try it !!!

FINALLY found the BEST Chili Mac soup recipe like my great aunt made while I was growing up. Absolutely delicious!

Delicious!  I added light red kidney beans and black beans.  Very good.  Thank you for sharing this recipe 😁

Thanks for leaving a reply!!! My guy is GF, and I was just pondering how the noodles would turn out. As we know how finicky GF pasta can be. Thank you!!!

I seriously love this recipe. I have a family of 3 and the 1x recipe is perfect for us plus leftovers! I wanted to eat this weekly when I first made it!

This is so good! All the flavors are perfectly balanced, and my husband loved it. I made it with GF pasta, so I didn’t simmer it as long with the pasta in it. I simmered it a little before putting the pasta in, but was concerned it would be more like soup. To my surprise, it only had a little extra juice, but that was absorbed over time, and it ended up perfect. Topped it with Mexican Crema and shredded cheese. Yum!

Easy to make, easier to consume! Next time I am going to add sliced jalapenos for some heat and texture.

If you’re searching for a good one ho weight this one! I love this recipe. It’s delicious and EASY! I can prep, cook and serve all within the same hour, I love it.

This is SO good! I made the vegetarian version of this. I replaced the ground beef with impossible meat (I'm sure any frozen faux beef crumble would work as well or beyond meat) and added green bell pepper and kidney beans. Also used vegetable bouillon cubes because I didn't have enough vegetable broth. Followed the rest of the directions and it turned out great. Loved it and bookmarked it for later! Thank you!

Very quick and great that it only requires one pot!  I added kidney beans, corn, celery.  I did not have tomato sauce but it still came out delicious
