Chili Mac

It's time for the Sunday Funday Bloggers........
Stacy of Food Lust People Love is hosting our event this week and asked us to share childhood favorites.  Let's see what memories the others are sharing today........
We had chili a lot while growing up.  It was a great way for my Mom to feed a ton of hungry people with inexpensive ingredients.  When there were more people at the table then chili, in would go the pasta to make it stretch even further.  So easy, simple and delicious.

This is all made in one pot and makes a complete meal so clean up is a breeze as well.  My Mom was all about convenience.  Raising 6 children, working full time and maintaining a house kept her very busy as you might imagine.  She wisely took shortcuts as often as she could.

    1. Yes, but our goulash didn't have beans in it. Love goulash as well.

    2. You are so right. Ours never had beans either.

  5. I love chili mac! It definitely reminds me of childhood dishes - and I made it a lot in my early years of adulthood, I still make it probably a few times a year as a warm me up comfort food dish when the weather cools off!

  6. Mums definitely knew how to keep our tummy full on a small budget. We were a joint family and she had 15 mouths to feed! I spotted your summer veggie chili. Wouldn't mind using that recipe with pasta to make a veggie chili Mac.
