Chili Mac is the ultimate comfort food. This recipe makes a huge amount of Chili Mac. Enough for 8 hearty portions.

This Chili Mac is a little different from most Chili Mac recipes. It has a jar of Alfredo sauce in it which makes it creamy and rich, plus it adds additional flavor.

This recipe uses convenience ingredients to keep it quick and simple.

You’ll start by making a quick and easy chili. Cook 1 1/2 pounds of ground beef and some onion in a large nonstick skillet. Add a packet of chili seasoning, a can of chili beans, and a can of Rotel tomatoes with green chilies. Let the mixture simmer a few minutes.

Next combine the cooked macaroni, beef mixture, Alfredo sauce, and 2 cups of shredded Colby Jack cheese in a large baking dish. Carefully mix everything together. Note: You can do this in a large bowl and then transfer it, but then you have one more dish to clean.

Baked uncovered for 20 minutes. Sprinkle on 1 cup of cheese and return it to the oven for 5 minutes.

How To Make This Dish Spicy

Use “hot” Rotel tomatoes and for more heat add 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes or a finely diced jalapeno to the ground beef when you cook it.
