Chili and cheesy macaroni come together in Skillet Cheesy Chili Mac, a hearty and comforting one-pan meal. It's great for a quick dinner during the week.
Ingredients: 1 lb ground beef. 1 onion, diced. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 can 14.5 oz diced tomatoes. 1 can 15 oz tomato sauce. 2 cups beef broth. 1 tbsp chili powder. 1 tsp cumin. 1/2 tsp paprika. Salt and pepper to taste. 2 cups elbow macaroni. 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese. 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro optional.
Instructions: Warm up the ground beef in a big pan over medium-low heat until it turns brown. Add the minced garlic and diced onion and cook until the onion is soft. Add the tomato sauce, beef broth, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper, and mix them all in. Bring to a low boil. Put elbow macaroni into the pan. Cover and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring every now and then, until the macaroni is soft. Put cheddar cheese shreds on top of the macaroni when it's done cooking. Leave it alone for a while to melt. If you want, you can add chopped fresh cilantro as a garnish before serving.
