Chili Macaroni

Add a little twist to your favourite chili recipe! Chili Macaroni is easy to make and is comfort food your family will love. It never lasts long in my house.

Chili Macaroni

It’s basically adding some cooked macaroni to your pot of chili. If you wanted to make a Mac N Cheese version, add some cheddar cheese before you serve it. I left it out and it still tasted delicious.

It tastes even better the next day. It makes a big batch so we often have leftovers. Just heat up a bowl in the microwave. If you’re craving comfort food, this is the recipe for you!
