Stop making a mess! 🥘 One-Pot Chili Mac

Note to self: ALWAYS check the labels at the store! 🍅 I accidentally grabbed stewed tomatoes instead of diced and had to work way too hard to mash them up. Save yourself the arm workout and grab the diced ones!

This is the ultimate “I don’t want to cook” dinner. Everything—including the dry pasta—cooks in one single pot. It’s cheesy, hearty, and my husband’s favorite comfort food.

The Ingredients:

Ground Beef

Chili Seasoning + Cornstarch (for that thick sauce)

Diced Tomatoes (don’t buy stewed! 😂)

Tomato Sauce

Milk & Water

Uncooked Macaroni

Shredded Cheese
