    This casserole is one of my husband's favorites. It's loaded with beef and cheese and taste amazing, a man can't ask for much more 😉

    How to make Chili Mac Casserole:

    Step one: Get started by preheating your oven to 350 degrees and prepare a casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.

    • Tip: For this recipe, I used a 913 casserole dish.

    Step two: Next cook your pasta according to package directions. Then drain and set aside.

    Step three: In a large pot cook and crumble ground beef. Add onion and garlic and allow to cook for 2-3 minutes.

    Step four: Add in diced tomatoes and tomato paste then season with chili powder, salt, cumin, and pepper.

    Step five: Then add your cook and drained elbow macaroni to your beef and tomatoes and mix well. Then mix in just 1 cup of shredded cheese and mix until melted.

    Step six: Last add your ingredients to your prepared casserole dish and top with remaining cheese. Bake for 30 minutes until cheese is melted.
