- 5. In a large saucepan, cook your elbow macaroni until tender. Rinse in cold water. Put aside in a mixing bowl awaiting chili.
- 6. When chili is ready, mix it into the cooked elbow macaroni. Get a good sized cassarole dish out and making layers, you will put a layer of chili macaroni on the bottom, top with some cheese, add another layer of chili macaroni and cheese until topped only with cheese. Put in a hot oven at 325 degrees and cook until bubbles about 15 to 20 minutes. Allow dish to sit for a good 5 to 10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to mingle well. Enjoy!!
