One Pot Chili Mac and Cheese

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you put chili and mac n cheese together in the same dish; what it would taste like?  I have one answer for you, "Yummy!"  I really like chili and I like homemade Mac N Cheese, so I really wanted to try this recipe. This wasn't spicy either.  Chili can be made to be mild or spicy.  I like mine in between.  I followed the recipe but added two ingredients to add a little extra something, something.  I added Paprika to the seasonings.  When I make chili, I like the depth of flavors you get when you combine chili powder, paprika and Cayenne pepper. I didn't add the Cayenne Pepper because I didn't want the added heat.  Then I added some mozzarella cheese to the Cheese part of the recipe.  When I make Mac N Cheese from scratch, I find it tastes a lot better if you use two different types of cheeses.  I applied the same to this recipe. I also added more Macaroni then it called for and it turned out fine. However, if you want more broth to your chili, I would stick to the recommended amount.  My husband and kids scarfed this down.  I don't think I've seen my Son wolf down a dinner that quickly ever.  Apparently, he really enjoyed it.  We also have left overs for lunch today!  I hope you will try this recipe because it was enjoyed by all and the kids especially liked it!  Happy Tasting!
