Paula’s Recipe of the Month: October 2009
Chili Mac ‘n Cheese

ann on October 27th, 2009

I like recipes that are easy, quick and only take a few ingredients.  This one fits the bill!  My entire family loves it.  Plus, all you need is some garlic bread and a salad and you have a complete meal.

Chili Mac ‘n Cheese

  • 1 lb hamburger meat
  • 2 1/3 cups uncooked rotini pasta
  • 1 tsp. chili powder
  • 2 1/4 cups hot water
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes with mild green chilies, undrained
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese

In a large skillet, brown hamburger meat (season with salt and pepper) over medium-high heat until thoroughly cooked. Drain excess grease.

Stir in uncooked pasta, chili powder, water and tomatoes.  Heat to boiling, stirring frequently.  Reduce to medium-low; cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender.

Remove from heat; stir in cheese until melted.

Yesterday is but a vision, and tomorrow is only a dream.  But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a dream of hope.
