CHILI MAC



Chili Mac image

This chili mac has regularly appeared on my family menus for more than 40 years, and it's never failed to please at potlucks and bring-a-dish gatherings. Sometimes I turn it into soup by adding a can of beef broth. -Marie Posavec, Berwyn, Illinois

AUNT VERNA'S CHILI MAC



Aunt Verna's Chili Mac image

Super easy to make. Kind of reminds me of Steak n' Shake's Chili Three-Ways. My aunt would make this everytime I went over for sleep overs with my cousins. She knew that this was one of my favorite meals that she would cook.
