This slow cooker cheesy chilli mac recipe appeared in the October Better Homes and Gardens Slow Cooker magazine, which I've adapted slightly. I love chilli con carne and macaroni cheese, so this mash up really appealed.
Oh my goodness...we LOVE it - the combination of chilli con carne that's full of flavour, with grated cheese and macaroni pasta is just so delicious...I made it again a week later. This is definitely on my make again and again list!!
Tip
- This slow cooker old cheesy chilli mac recipe is easily halved if you’re cooking for less people.
