Ingredients

  • 1 lb. lean ground beef
  • 6 oz. (1 1/2 cups) uncooked elbow macaroni
  • 1 (15.5-oz.) can spicy chili beans, undrained
  • 1 (14.5-oz.) can zesty chili-style chunky tomatoes, undrained
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 oz. (1 cup) shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps

  • 1
    Cook macaroni as directed on package. Drain; return to saucepan. Cover to keep warm.
  • 2
    Meanwhile, brown ground beef in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes or until thoroughly cooked, stirring frequently. Drain.
  • 3
    Reduce heat to medium. Stir in cooked macaroni, beans, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Cook an additional 3 to 5 minutes or until bubbly, stirring frequently. Sprinkle with cheese.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    For milder flavor, use regular chili beans and diced tomatoes instead of spicy chili beans and zesty tomatoes.
  • tip 2
    Set out bowls of your favorite chili toppings. Try sour cream, chopped green onions, jalapeño chiles and extra shredded Cheddar cheese.
  • tip 3
    It's easy to make this kid-pleasing casserole even more interesting: omit the shredded Cheddar cheese, and use a star-shaped cutter to cut sliced American cheese into star shapes or favorite animals shapes.
