One Pot Chili Mac and Cheese

Ingredients

 500 g Beef Mince
 800 g Crushed Can Tomato
 420 g Red Kidney Beans, drained
 250 g Elbow Macaroni Pasta, uncooked
 2 ½ cups Beef Broth
 1 tbsp Olive oil
 2 Garlic cloves, minced
 1 Onion, finely chopped
 1 Red Capsicum, diced
 2 cups Shredded Cheese
 ¼ cup Coriander, finely chopped for garnish
 1 tsp Cayenne Pepper
 2 tsp Paprika Powder
 2 tsp Cumin Powder
 1 ½ tsp Onion Powder
 1 tsp Dried Oregano
 Salt and Pepper, to taste

Method

1

In a large pot, heat oil over high heat. Add minced garlic and chopped onion, sauté for about a minute. Then, add the diced chorizo and capsicum, and continue cooking until the onion becomes translucent.

2

Add the minced beef to the pot and cook, breaking it apart as it browns. Once the beef changes color from red to brown, incorporate the remaining ingredients except for the cheese. Stir well, bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium.

3

Cover and cook for about 12 minutes or until the macaroni is cooked to al dente, with a slight firmness to it.

4

Turn off the stove but keep the pot on the burner. Stir in half of the cheese until melted. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top, cover with the lid, and let it sit until the cheese melts, about 2 minutes.

5

Top with coriander as a garnish and serve in bowls before savoring each delicious bite!
