One-Pot Chili Mac and Cheese

★ American Edition

A cozy one-pot chili mac made with ground beef, elbow macaroni, beans, tomatoes, chili spices, and melty cheese. It eats like a cross between homemade chili and mac and cheese, with the pasta cooking right in the sauce so the whole pot turns rich, saucy, and deeply comforting.
