Print Recipe

This Chili Mac combines two classic comfort foods in a flavorful one-pot meal that’s quick, easy, and satisfying, perfect for a hearty weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20)
  • 2 cups chopped onions (about ¼-inch pieces)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 1 (14.5-ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 (4-ounce) can diced green chiles (mild)
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 8 ounces uncooked macaroni
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 2 cups freshly shredded medium cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced (optional, for topping)
  • Extra shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked; drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Add chopped onions and minced garlic to the pot and sauté until onions are translucent.
  3. Stir in beef broth, fire-roasted diced tomatoes, diced green chiles, chili powder, cumin, and dried oregano. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Add uncooked macaroni to the pot, stir well, and cover. Cook until macaroni is tender, about 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Once macaroni is cooked, stir in evaporated milk, shredded cheddar cheese, and sour cream until cheese is melted and mixture is creamy.
  6. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  7. Serve hot, topped with sliced green onions and extra shredded cheddar cheese if desired.

Notes

This recipe is a great one-pot meal that combines the flavors of chili and macaroni and cheese. Using fire-roasted tomatoes adds a smoky depth, and the evaporated milk helps create a creamy texture without heaviness. Adjust chili powder to your preferred spice level.
