"Hearty chili with creamy macaroni and cheese is an unbeatable comfort, and this 100-percent scratch version is the ultimate! Zesty Tex-Mex flavoring, cheddar cheese, green chiles and an extra boost of both chili and garlic powder give this dish deep savory flavor that’s hard to resist. So, put it to the test and see what your family says. If you find it deserves a spot in your permanent dinner rotation, you’ll be glad to know this recipe freezes beautifully!..."
