Chili Macaroni – Easy Dinner Idea

Looking for an easy dinner idea? This Chili Macaroni is just for you!

This chili macaroni is a recipe that has been handed down from my husband’s grandma, to his mom to me! It is a kid favorite that adults enjoy too! There are never left overs of this dish – every last piece of macaroni is gobbled up in no time at all! (Kind of amazing what a can of chili and some macaroni noodles can do!) Here is the simple recipe:

Chili Macaroni

• 1 cup of elbow macaroni

• 1/2 cup shredded cheese
