This was a great and easy recipe. Very much the comfort food recipe. Didn't change a thing...just as a side note though, I used a 15 oz. can of Bush's chili beans (pinto) in a mild chili sauce. I was wondering what to use because when one person says "chili bean", I think it's up for interpretation. IMHO, I think dark red kidney beans or even black beans could be used as well. I used 1 cup of uncooked macaroni and it seemed to be the perfect amount. The rest was pretty standard. Thank you for the recipe, Chelgilm!

5 stars for a quick, inexpensive tasty meal on a weekday night. I made it a bit healthier with ground chicken breast rather than beef and also used whole wheat macaroni. We like spicy, but this was a bit too much heat. Next time, I'll cut back some on the chili powder and cumin. It sure helped to get my water allowance in!

I gave this recipe 4 stars. My family really liked this recipe. My picky 4 yr & 6 yr old newphews really liked it. My 4 yr old newphew even had seconds. My only complaint was the cayenne pepper it made it a bit to spicy for my likings. I to only cooked 1 cup of elbows and that was plenty. Overall this was so good and we will have this again for sure. Thanks for posting a really good recipe. Christine (internetnut)
