Easy Chili Mac

Hi ladies! This is my first time posting here. Tonight I made a super easy, super quick and fairly tasty chili mac. I altered a recipe off of the Kraft website. Here it is:

Chili Mac

-1 1/2 c uncook macaroni
-1 green pepper
-1 onion
-1 garlic clove, minced
-1 t cumin
-2 t chili powder
-1/2 t salt
-1 can beans
-1 can diced tomatoes undrained
-Cheese for topping

Sautee onion and green pepper in olive oil until soften some. Add garlic last minute or two of cooking. Add cumin, chili powder and salt. Sautee a minute or two more. Add beans and tomoatoes and let simmer while pasta is cooking.

Before starting veggies, boil water and cook macaroni according to package directions. Once cooked add to "chili". Top with cheese.

**We kept the chili and mac seperate in case we wanted to use them differently for leftovers.
**I think this is a great recipe for nights when you haven't planned anything and need to use up leftovers. You could easily adapt this recipe for what you have on hand: ground beef, other veggies, etc.

Enjoy!
