Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 box macaroni, elbow (14.5 oz)
1 large green bell pepper, diced
1 large red bell pepper, diced
1 large yellow onion, diced
1 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 clove minced garlic
1 pkg frozen corn
2 lb ground beef
2 can(s) diced tomatoes (no salt added) with juice
2 can(s) chili (with beans)
1 can(s) black beans, rinsed & drained
3 Tbsp chili powder
1 tsp black pepper
1 pkg cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • 1. Cook pasta for one minute less than it says on the box, drain, and set aside.
  • 2. Brown the ground beef, drain, rinse, and set aside.
  • 3. In a large dutch oven type pan, melt the butter with the olive oil, and saute onion, peppers, and garlic until tender but not wimpy.
  • 4. Add canned chili, corn, diced tomatoes, ground beef, beans, pepper, and chili powder to the veggies, and stir well. Heat to near a boil. Cover and then simmer for 10-15 minutes.*
  • 5. Add cooked macaroni and mix well, then stir in about one cup of shredded cheese, and allow to melt.
  • 6. Serve Chili Mac with additional cheddar cheese, tortilla chips, sour cream, and corn bread (if desired)
  • 7. * If making this a few hours ahead, put everything in a large crockpot rather than simmering in the pan, add the cooked mac, cover and heat on low for 2-3 hours.
