Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (15 ounce) can chili with beans
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 ounces elbow macaroni, cooked and drained
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the chili with beans, diced tomatoes and green chilies, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Reduce heat to low. Stir in the cooked macaroni, shredded cheddar cheese, and milk.
  5. Continue to stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.
  6. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, use less milk.
