Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 pound ground beef (80 percent meat/20 percent fat)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 cups marinara sauce (pick one with personality!)
One 8.5-ounce bag microwaveable pasta, such as rotini, elbows or penne
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
2 jalapenos, thinly sliced into rounds
Greek yogurt or sour cream and sliced scallions, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven or a grill to 375 degrees F.
  • Add the olive oil, chili powder and cumin to a large cast-iron pan over medium heat. Toast and stir until the spices are fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the beef, salt and a few grinds of black pepper and cook, breaking the beef into bits while browning, until fully cooked, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the marinara sauce and stir to coat. Add the pasta straight from the bag and stir.
  • Level the contents of the pan and top with the cheese, then arrange the jalapeno slices around the pan on top. Bake or grill with the lid closed until the cheese melts and is golden on the edges, 10 to 15 minutes. Top with the Greek yogurt and scallions. Serve warm.

This was a really good recipe. I'm not usually a fan of chili mac, but this one was really flavorful and satisfying.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The flavor was a bit bland for my taste.

This recipe was a lifesaver on a busy weeknight. It was quick and easy to make, and my family loved it. I'll definitely be making this again.

This was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I'll probably make it again with less chili powder next time.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. I like to add a can of corn and some black beans for extra flavor.

Easy and delicious! I used ground turkey instead of beef and it turned out great. My kids loved it too.

This was a great recipe! I made it for my family last night and they loved it. The chili mac was cheesy, flavorful, and had just the right amount of spice. I would definitely make this again.
