GRAMMA'S OLD FASHIONED CHILI MAC

Gramma's Old Fashioned Chili Mac image

This is an old family recipe that my mom has cooked for 50 years. It's a wonderful, 'stick-to-the-ribs' meal that goes wonderful with warm cornbread or rolls. I find that kids love this when they don't like regular 'spicy' chili. Enjoy!
