I’m not sure where I saw this idea of serving chili over the top of macaroni and cheese.  But ever since I ran across it, I’ve wanted to give it a try.

And oh yes.  It is just as good as I imagined it would be!

The chili with all of its meaty, spiciness contrasts wonderfully with the creamy, cheesy pasta.

A match made in dinner plate heaven!

You can use any kind of chili and macaroni recipes you like.  I link up some possible recipes below.  

For this one, I used my favorite Pressure Cooker Mac & Cheese.

We topped it with McCormick’s 15 minute Fire Roasted Garlic Chili.

McCormick is a sponsor of this blog, but this post isn’t sponsored by them.  I just wanted to share this easy way to make chili, because we loved it!

If you don’t have a pressure cooker, you can still make my favorite kind of mac & cheese on the stove top.

I also have an easy recipe that uses Velveeta.  It’s so good!

Mel’s Diner Chili is a thick, hearty chili that would be perfect topped with mac & cheese.

Velma’s Chili is my favorite chili.  Although, I will tell you that I served this recently to my parents and my mom said this was more like soup than chili to her.  Whatever.  I love it!  And I think it would be good with mac & cheese too.

Any kind of meaty chili would be great topped with any kind of creamy, cheesy macaroni.  Have fun with this idea!
