On the freezer Ziploc bag write вЂ“ вЂњChili Mac and CheeseвЂќ add box of broth to mixture, bring to a boil, add half a box of elbow noodles, simmer for 13-15 min, and then add cheese. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste IвЂ™m a fan of making one big mess instead of two!

I LOVE this recipe! I figured out how to double this recipe so that I can eat one that night and freeze the other. With little kids вЂњsaucyвЂќ doesnвЂ™t mix! I LOVE this site so much I will GLADLY be buying her cookbook- one, to have pretty pictures and not having to have my latop open in the kitchen and two-to say вЂњTHANK YOUвЂќ for the blog and the delicious meals IвЂ™ve cooked because of it. I hope Chungah isnвЂ™t bothered by all of our adjustments. The flavors are amazing and IвЂ™m glad it took to the tweaking I, and many others, ended up doing to it. The bottom is a bit saucy so I donвЂ™t know how leftovers will be but there are PLENTY and IвЂ™m glad for it. I ladled it into a large bowl and put cheese between layers and left it in the bowl a bit longer than the 2 min it would have taken otherwise. As I hoped much of the chicken broth absorbed so it was closer to a mac and cheese. It was, as advertised, DAMN DELICIOUS!! As is everything IвЂ™ve tried from this site. Because I have a 2 and 4 year old I only used 1 tsp of chili powder but otherwise I kept it all the same.

So, comments in mind, I used a little over 1 lb of ground beef, 1 full can of beans for each-white and red, 16 oz of elbow pasta (whole box) and the whole packet of grated cheese (2 cups). I have a small fridge right now and IвЂ™m lucky to cook anything, let alone deal with odd leftover portions of meat and canned beans. I also didnвЂ™t love the odd measurements, as others have commented on as well. If I hadnвЂ™t dug around the comments as I usually do IвЂ™d have been pulling my hair out thinking I messed it up.

So when I first saw this recipe I too assumed it was a mac and cheese with some chili elements added, not a chili/mac and cheese hydrid-which is what this is. The 2 1/2 year old ate two helpings! ThatвЂ™s rare! Overall, a good base recipe to build on and tailor to you liking. It was delicious though, and my kids enjoyed it. If I were to do the recipe again, I would add an extra can of tomatoes, use beef broth instead of chicken broth, less noodles, and definitely add the siracha/hot sauce. I did add more chicken broth to compensate for the noodles. It turned out a bit more gumbo-like or stew-like that soupy like the picture for obvious reasons. ItвЂ™s slightly less than 3/4вЂ™s, which isвЂ¦IвЂ™m not sure. ItвЂ™s also very difficult to get exactly 10 oz of noodles in the pot. The way I buy my beef though, itвЂ™s very inconvenient to only use the 8 ounces. I also accidentally put in a whole pound of beef and a whole box of macaroni noodles (16 oz) because I wasnвЂ™t paying attention and didnвЂ™t realize the recipe cut it down like that. I added Siracha to mine to give it a bit more kick since the seasonings by themselves were a tad bland.
