Hello, sweet friends. I want to share this super simple recipe that is a perfect comfort food. It combines two of my favorite foods Chili with Mac and Cheese! Amazing and delicious.
I have been trying so hard this year to make more meals at home and to eat out less. Even if the meal is something simple it is better than eating fast food.
This recipe super quick to make. I think this chili mac and cheese would be a really great meal to make ahead and give to a family in need. Whether they are recovering from surgery, just had a baby or recently suffered a loss. You could easily double the recipe and put in a disposable metal pan.
My kids love mac and cheese… wait who am I kidding? I love it too. So I am always on the hunt to change things up and try new flavors. This combination is perfect!
I love using Annie’s Homegrown Macaroni & Cheese, it tastes great and I don’t feel as bad serving it to my kids.
