Chili is a mealtime staple during the fall and winter, whether it’s for a midweek family dinner or a weekend tailgating feast. I love making a pot of this Chili Mac because it goes a long way! It’s thick and hearty! We always have enough for leftovers for lunches the next day or two.
A lot of chili recipes you see ask you to drain the beans. Personally, I think there is so much flavor in there, why throw it all down the drain?!
I stock up on Hunt’s, Ro*tel and Bush’s products to make delicious chili recipes all winter long.
