Anybody?
I have this desire for chili mac … so lay your favorite recipe on me. Just no mushrooms please, deathly allergic to them=)
Prepare a box of Macaroni and Cheese, Add a can of Wolf Brand Chili, The End.
Second Yousarian’s recipe. Doesn’t have to be any more complicated than that-great taste. For comparison, try a MRE packet from any military folks you know.
Never heard of Wolf brand … that a western thing?
I know Hormel is a brand of chili around here…
Hormel works too; try Bush’s Chili Beans also. Taste, and add cayenne pepper carefully to push up the heat.
Cold DosXX beer helps too!
Mac, cheese, hamburger, chili sauce, onions.
Our family recipe for this is called (for some unknown reason) Spanish Hamburger.
medium diced red onion
medium diced bell pepper
2 lbs lean ground beef
kosher salt (to taste)
fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
granulated garlic (to taste)
cumin (to taste)
1 envelope William’s chili seasoning
1 46 oz can tomato juice
8 oz of your favorite pasta
saute the onion and pepper till tender
add ground beef and garlic and lightly brown
add tomato juice, cumin, salt and pepper
simmer while pasta cooks (10 minutes or so.)
Add pasta
Serve with a tossed salad and garlic bread.
Because it is pasta in stead of spanish rice … chili mac is essentially chili mixed with mac n cheese. 
I think we will default to a couple boxes Kraft dinner, and a can of Hormel chili. Not sire if we want with or without beans though … I can always make mrAru sleep on teh couch =)
It would have never crossed my mind to combine boxed mac and cheese with canned chili. I don’t ever have either of them on hand…
The last time I made boxed mac and cheese was when my daughters were little.
Here are 57 recipes. I’ve already filtered out the recipes with mushrooms.
And some of them might seem a bit similar to others.
I could google also … I was hoping for personal experience for good recipes =)
We usually just add hamburger meat to the cheap blue box of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. Then we add Pace Salsa.
Eat.
Ended up 2 boxes Kraft, 1 can hormel chili, generous amount of whatever salsa we have around [not pace, it is labeled with the blue husky of the UCONN Huskies on it.]
Not bad, but unfortunately [or fortunately not sure how I would categorize it] the university i went to made a much better version of it sigh
