"@tuttorossotomatoes @thefeedfeed #sponsored It's officially fall, which means it's chili season in my family! My family always serves our chili over macaroni noodles, but this year, I have decided to take it up a notch with @Tuttorossotomatoes. I am taking two of my family's favorite recipes - spicy beef chili and baked macaroni and cheese - and combining it into the ultimate baked cheesy chili mac!

To make things even better, I have partnered with Tuttorosso tomatoes to take my chili to the next level. I love Tuttorosso not only because of their sustainably produced tomatoes, but they also promise no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives! You know how I like to keep my ingredients clean around here! Talk about a guilt-free game day. Paid partnership with Tuttorosso Tomatoes & @FeedFeed.

ingredients
- 1/2 yellow onion, diced
- 1/2 cup canned hot chili beans
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- 1 8-ounce can Tuttorosso Tomato Sauce
- 2 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 tablespoons flour
- 2 cups 2% milk
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/16 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 3 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded and divided
- 3 cups elbow pasta, cooked
Method
Step 1
Add ground beef and diced onions to a frying pan to brown. Add your Tuttorosso Tomato Sauce and chili powder. Simmer chili for 20 minutes.
Step 2
While chili is simmering, it's time to make a roux for your cheese sauce. This will be the base of the "mac" part of your Baked Cheesy Chili Mac. Melt butter on medium heat in a large pot, add flour, ground mustard, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper to melted butter and stir to combine into a rich paste.
Step 3
Slowly whisk in 2% milk to the roux. Continue stirring until milk has thickened to create the base of your cheese sauce.
Step 4
Once the base has thickened, stir in 2 cups of sharp cheddar cheese. Add elbow noodle pasta and stir to combine.
Step 5
Transport macaroni and cheese to an oven safe dish and top with chili and then remaining cheddar cheese.
Step 6
Bake your cheesy chili mac in the oven, uncovered on 375°F for 25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and brown.
