Ingredients

  • 6 cups water
  • 16 oz elbow macaroni or small pasta
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 4 cups leftover chili
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar or co-jack cheese

Instructions

  • In a large deep skillet add pasta and water.
  • Bring the water to a boil, reduce heat to low, stir in salt and cover.
  • Simmer for 6-7 minutes until most of the water is absorbed and the pasta is al dente and has a little bite still. (There should still be some water left in the pan, and the pasta will continue to cook while you finish the dish.)
  • Add the chili to the macaroni and increase the heat to medium. Bring the chili mac to a low bubble.
  • Once bubbling, stir in the cheese one handful at a time until it is melted and repeat until all the cheese is added and melted.
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring it a few times.
