Chili and Mac & Cheese are two of my families favorites so it only made sense for me to find a recipe that combined the two. I knew that my dad would be all over this recipe the minute I found it on Pinterest so I couldn’t wait to give it a try. The result was amazing, it was such a cold and windy day yesterday that this dinner was exactly what the doctor ordered. Although the recipe I found online looked amazing I made several adjustments to make it something I knew my family would appreciate and associate with my favorite Chili recipe.
