CHILI MAC AND CHEESE RECIPE (30 MINUTE DINNER)

Steps:

• Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the ground beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Add the chopped onion and continue cooking for 5-8 minutes, until the ground beef is no longer pink and the onion is translucent.
• Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
• Drain the meat. (I usually do this by setting a colander over a bowl.) Return the beef to the pot.
• Turn the heat on to medium again. Add the flour, salt, paprika, smoked paprika, oregano, cumin, and chili powder. Stir it together and cook for one minute.
• Add the beef broth, Rotel, tomato sauce, and drained beans. (Don't drain the Rotel, add all those juices in.) Turn the heat up to high and bring to a boil.
• Add the elbow macaroni. If you are using Velveeta, roughly chop it and add it in along with the noodles. Stir occasionally for about 8 minutes until the noodles are al dente and the Velveeta has melted.
• If you are using shredded cheddar cheese, add it after the noodles are al dente. Add the cheese and turn off the heat. Stir until melted.
• Chili Mac is nothing without the garnishes: crushed tortilla chips, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped white onions, avocado...the sky is the limit here.
