This chili mac is so good once you start eating it is hard to stop! Was a tad bit worried about the amount of brown sugar and the chili mac being to sweet but it was perfect. I used V8 juice instead of tomato and next time might add 3/4 cup macaroni or use the large elbow macaroni. Liked the crunch of the celery with the soft texture of the beans and macaroni. Will be having the leftovers for supper tonight and will definitely make this again. Made and reviewed for the Contest & Events Forum's My 3 Chef's 2012 recipe tag game.
