Chili Macaroni

A easy and delicious dish. I make it often. A friend of mine, with 4 boys, makes it once a week. I hope you like it! I have also made it from all shelf stable ingredients, except the cheese. Just use dehydrated onions and canned beef.

Delicious! Made as directed... except I used about 3 cloves of fresh chopped garlic instead of powder, added a little extra chili powder & cumin cuz I had over 1 pound of meat. I omitted using the oil & just sprayed the pan with nonstick spray. I also didn't add the whole 8 oz of ronis cuz I didn't want it to absorb all the sauce for any leftovers. Topped with taco blend chedder mix & served with corn muffins & a green salad. Thank you for a simple, delicious meal to go to on a weeknight!
