Recipe: One Pot Chili Mac

December 4, 2014 · FoodHussy · Leave a Comment

I’m a sucker for any kind of chili mac, goulash, pasta & meat type of dish. It’s comfort food – it’s warm – it cozy. 
This recipe is all of that in one – it’s cheesy, tomatoey, noodley and just delicious! 
I decided to start a little healthier and use ground turkey in the recipe. I find that when it’s in things – like a casserole – I can’t really tell the difference in ground beef or turkey. Side by side I probably could but I’m not paying attention like I am when I’m eating a hamburger. 
It’s a simple recipe – brown the ground turkey with onions, garlic and olive oil…

Then dump everything else in – including the pasta – it cooks in the broth. I think if I had it to do over I would have a little less pasta and a maybe only one can of beans. This ratio pretty much soaked up all the liquid. So it’s up to you – as far as how do you like your chili mac.

Simma down na!

As you see – all of the liquid is gone. Less macaroni next time. 

Add some cheese…

And One Pot Chili Mac is served!
