Chili Mac

(0)
"@thefeedfeed @tuttorossotomatoes {#ad} Chili Mac is the best one-pot weeknight meal! It combines everyone's favorite comfort food recipes: Macaroni & Cheese and chili- I made this in collaboration with my favorite #cannedtomatoes: Tuttorosso Tomatoes. Some of the best recipes are those that combine two beloved dishes. In this case, Macaroni & Cheese and Chili. What's not to like? Deliciously flavorful beef chili laden with beans and tomatoes, then combined with creamy macaroni & cheese. It's a comfort food match made in heaven! And best of all, this is a true one-pan dinner that is on the table in less than 30 minutes. You can easily prep some of the fresh ingredients in advance (highly recommend!) to make it even quicker. These flavors tend to please even the pickiest of palates. This is your one-way ticket to a weeknight dinner win.
