Very interesting, easy and cheap meal! I like to add only 1/4 to 1/2 can of chili because it allows more of the cheese flavour to come through rather than just chili with macaroni. Nice variation on two classic meals!

As a college student, I fully appreciate quick and inexpensive meals. This one is a winner because it combines chili and mac and cheese, two items I always have on hand. Like another reviewer, I too used Campbell Chunky Firehouse chili, since I love spicy chili, and for the shredded cheese topping, I used a Mexican blend. Good stuff, thanks!

My husband loves this, and it's so simple. You can use whatever kind of chili you want - that's part of the beauty of it. This is a great staple for when you just don't have the time to cook a big dinner, but you feel like something a little heartier than plain mac and cheese.

My husband absolutely adored this chili mac and he has had a lot of chili mac in his days. He said it was the cheese that made it the best...I put lots and lots of shredded cheese in it. It was great, so easy, and fast!

I can understand why the other reviewer's boyfriend liked this dish, even though he didn't really like macaroni and cheese - it tastes like chili with macaroni in a creamy sauce with only the softest, faintest whisper of the cheese in "macaroni and cheese." The flavor of the chili (I used Nalley) masked the delightful synthetic flavor of the macaroni and cheese, which is why I (and I must assume everyone else) would ever elect to eat macaroni and cheese. Or maybe my palate is just not cultured enough to detect the subtle flavors of the cheese through the chili. I don't know. In any case, it was all right. Not good, not bad. It didn't satisfy my need for CHEESE, which is an ever present and ever persistant need.

Oh my! I knew this would be tasty, but it is DELICIOUS! Way better than I was expecting. My husband liked it and is not a hug mac & cheese fan. All I had on hand was mild chili (and all out of hot sauce!!!), so I can't wait to try it again with hot chili! The fact that it is super cheap to make is just a bonus.
