This dish combines two favorites in a delicious and budget-friendly way! The ingredient amounts (also in grams) are right in the description and the print recipe is linked there as well. As always, thanks for liking our recipes and videos and sharing our family table each week.
So true. I learned to cook from my Austrian family when I was about 8 and I've become a brilliant home cook as I've got older (no store-bought ready meals for me, it's all freshly cooked, healthy and delicious). I'd like to see him do some cake recipes for a change.
As a professional chef, in the industry for over 20 years, I wish your daughter luck. It's a thankless job and she'll spend a long time working very hard to get where she probably wants to be. But if she really loves it, she'll make her way and carve out a place for herself in the industry... Wishing y'all the best!
I always bring my Chili to the next level by adding a tablespoon of Drinking Chocolate powder, also I always let the Chili cool down once for about 1 hour before reheating and serving. Brings out much more flavour and really thickens up the Sauce nicely.
This is incredibly good and easy to make! I used a box of elbow macaroni which most of us have in the house, left out the beans, only used 1lb of ground chuck and liked the cilantro so much that I put two TBSP of finely chopped in the mix as a last step. I didn't have chili powder so I used a TexMex powder I had in the house - excellent. Also I only used two cups of cheese, I didn't want to overwhelm it. Thanks so much for the great recipe, this is a great channel!
Just made this... husband and son are eating it right now. Their review... "It's a keeper!" That means I will be printing the recipe and adding it to my recipe binder. Only the winning recipes make it into "The Binder!" Thanks for helping a mediocre cook become a better one. :)
When our daughter was an equestrian, we would go to Cattle Penning events and we would buy Frito Boats to eat in our hands while in the stands watching. You take a individual size of a bag of Fritos, tear it down the side, cover it in Chili, onions and cheese and eat with a spoon! Delicious!
What I do when I cook this is add some cubed fresh tomatoes alongside the chilli pasta: the combination of the hot meal with the room-temperature tomatoes is sooooo good .....
They do add a freshness as well as a firm bite that isn't otherwise present in canned/jarred tomatoes. I first remove the seeds and gelatinous liquid and, if I weren't lazy, also peel them
The best part of this video is that you not only invited your son to taste the dish, but you asked for his opinion and what he liked about it. That'll not only make you a better cook, but it will help him to make good food choices when he's out on his own!
"Make it your own." That's what I do with a lot of these. I also watch That Dude Can Cook. When I make Beef Burgundy, I make a combination of your recipe and his, taking what I like from each.
This was a staple in my home. When the budget got tight, this was our go-to. Especially on Halloween night. After trick or treating, we would be famished. This was our dinner. LOVED IT ❤❤❤!!
This is almost identical to the way my late Mom would have made this; at the end, for color, she'd chop up some green onion and sprinkle them around the top. It's a great recipe, thanks!
I make this all the time, though I prefer it stirred in with creamy stovetop vs baked. In fact, I just made some with some leftover pulled pork I made over the weekend. Either way, looks awesome!
WOW, timing is perfect . After having a great Tuesday Taco night with my daughter , she put in her request for chili next week and just came across this . Will definitely be making this 😊😊Love the channel , my absolute favorite cooking podcast . Thank you for sharing your recipes and skills
Really enjoyed this while in army. Freezing weather and they would truck out hot chili-mac made you forget how miserable you were. I call mine "kitchen sink mac" because the chili is loaded. Big favorites at cookouts.
I already know this is going to be a favorite for my husband, lol. It's still a bit warm down here in Florida for this, but I'm bookmarking it for our first cool front!
Another great recipe, as always, and great presentation, thanks Jim and James! Hope it's ok if I share a great tip I learned years ago watching the inimitable Nick Stellino: After oiling the baking dish, lightly coat the bottom and sides with breadcrumbs. Not only does this facilitate cleanup (it completely avoids baked-on mess!), it adds a delicious crunch and extra flavour!!
Made this yesterday - it was delish and a big hit with the family! Did not have a red pepper, and mixed cheddar and mozzarella, but it worked out fine. Looking forward to making it according to the recipe next time!
I have made about 30 of your dishes now. Always amazing. This is a dish I know how to make but decided to see if you had a recipe and wow only two weeks ago. Made it almost as is! And will incorporate some of it into my dishes in the future. The splash of cayenne 🎉
Thank you for all your knowledge and these recipes. I've been cooking for years and have still found tips from you that have changed my game. Family approved as well!
Nice meal. Like the idea of shells instead of elbows. If you use medium shells, you get a bit of the Chili/Cheese mixture inside the shells. I like to add a cup or so of corn. You get the color and the sweetness of the corn. And more veggies.
When I do chili Mac I make a good cheese sauce and combine it with a simple ground beef chili. I combine them together then add the pasta. This looks very good, but I think some folks want some creaminess beyond a stovetop Mac and cheese “topped” with chili. I enjoy your videos.
I love the idea of making this into fried balls. My preference for halftime snacks would be cookie scoop size with some sort of food processor crushed chip instead of breadcrumbs. Maybe Doritos, corn chips, or pork rinds. My reality is that I lack the patience for all that scooping and rolling. I'd spread it into a parchment lined jelly roll pan or sheet pan, refrigerate it overnight, then cut it into small squares before proceeding to the breading station 😊
I have not had chili mac since basic training (2003) and this video inspired me to make it this evening. Bravo. It was really good...and much better than from the DFAC 🤣. Thank you
I would never have thought chili that has beans in it would be good with pasta?! But it looks SO GOOD!! And if James is giving that dish a 9 then I'm gonna try it for sure! Thanks for sharing and thanks for your review James! 👍
many cooking channels have a separate kitchen for their studio/video production. i follow a Canadian cooking channel and they converted their garage into a test kitchen for their videos.
I’m Italian, so all of us had two kitchens. One in the basement for big Sunday dinners, one upstairs for the immediate family that hardly ever got used. 🤣🤣
This looks awesome! Just visited your website & printed the recipe - can't wait to try it. Loved James' comment about "just seeing me" on the videos. Thanks for sharing your talents with us! Blessings from Michigan.
Channel is getting close to the 1M subscriber mark. Fantastic! This looks good, but I like my chili on the sweet side, so might add some brown sugar and/or cocoa powder, and maybe swap out part of the beef stock for coffee or beer.
Hi…love your easy recipes. Was going to make chili with rice for my grandkids this weekend but now making your Chili Mac & Cheese! Have a great weekend!❤️🇨🇦
Weather must be getting cooler... shifted from the Dad shorts back to jeans. 😅 Love the chili mac recipe. Going to get this one a shot this weekend. That chili Colorado is super tasty. One of my favorites.
I have too cook for two 12 year olds every day for school. I have a bunch of 80/20 beef and vegetables. This looks like a good option. High protein, some carbs I might add carrots for sweetness. Could probably adjust the ground beef for some tofu, but I haven't converted them to vegetarian yet. They'll choose.
With your pasta uncertainties, you should take a look at Priano Conchiglie. Priano is a bronze cut Durham wheat semolina pasta, product of Italy,sold exclusively by Aldi.
I am cheap and just use a premix packet or you can get a larger size of Old el Paso chili mix. For me, it is cost effective. It comes in low sodium, mild, spicey, etc. I also add a grated carrot in my chili because it cuts down on the reflux/heartburn of the tomatoes. Some add sugar but I prefer the carrot. JM 2 cents.
I am like James and skip to the end🤣 My kids are grown so I don't cook for them anymore but I love to see end results. I mean...I don't skip all the way through, I'll watch a minute here and there but will stay toward the end just to see the beautiful dish and the commentary is always a good time😅
This looks amazing and I love this channel so much so educational my pasta fazool is very different then Jim’s but it’s amazing I will def be trying this in a few weeks James is hilarious and I would love to see James cook

I love that you are passing on your cooking skills to your son. I always cooked with my daughter and now she is entering culinary school!
So true. I learned to cook from my Austrian family when I was about 8 and I've become a brilliant home cook as I've got older (no store-bought ready meals for me, it's all freshly cooked, healthy and delicious). I'd like to see him do some cake recipes for a change.

Oh my goodness .... Your son is growing like a weed. It's been awhile and I've missed you all so much.
Such a great family
@SipandFeast it’s an actual crime that you aren’t north of a million subs. You deserve it. Also, it’s wicked sick that you have two kitchens!
Flipping the script is a fantastic idea! Love your vids and your family vibe, you guys are awesome
Thanks so much!
Replace the pasta with small Fritos Corn Chips and you'll have "Frito Pie". A wonderful dish my mother made when we were kids.
I always bring my Chili to the next level by adding a tablespoon of Drinking Chocolate powder, also I always let the Chili cool down once for about 1 hour before reheating and serving. Brings out much more flavour and really thickens up the Sauce nicely.
Absolutely, a bit of cocoa powder adds a tremendous amount of depth to chili!
Interesting. What do you think of adding brown sugar instead?
I live in the Pacific Northwest and this will be perfect for the fall when the weather changes. Your videos are great!
Thanks and hope you enjoy!

Yes! Brown meat first then set aside. That's how I do it for my ragu also.
My husband has been looking for a good chili mac recipe for years-can’t wait to try! 🎉

That mind blowing idea at the end and the look on both of your faces that was just amazing, I love the complicity you guys have
Thanks so much!

glad to have you guys back again. it feels like months lol. and id so love this recipe.
I made this over the weekend and it was *chef’s kiss* perfection! This will be in regular rotation for fall and winter.
This is almost identical to the way my late Mom would have made this; at the end, for color, she'd chop up some green onion and sprinkle them around the top. It's a great recipe, thanks!

WOW, timing is perfect . After having a great Tuesday Taco night with my daughter , she put in her request for chili next week and just came across this . Will definitely be making this 😊😊Love the channel , my absolute favorite cooking podcast . Thank you for sharing your recipes and skills
I really appreciate you specifying the brand of salt. I wish other channels would do the same.
Great recipe, now that Autumn is on the way, and infinitely customisable.
I'm already one of your Patreons, so I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing James Cook and ypu review his meals! I think that will be fun!!
Really enjoyed this while in army. Freezing weather and they would truck out hot chili-mac made you forget how miserable you were. I call mine "kitchen sink mac" because the chili is loaded. Big favorites at cookouts.
That chili came from New York City!!!.....NEW YORK CITY!!!!???? lol. Definitely fall weather food!! Keep up the good work.
I can't believe I have every ingredient. I'm so making this!
I already know this is going to be a favorite for my husband, lol. It's still a bit warm down here in Florida for this, but I'm bookmarking it for our first cool front!
Another great recipe James, I have made this before but with elbow pasta and a couple other minor differences, still really good.
Another great recipe, as always, and great presentation, thanks Jim and James! Hope it's ok if I share a great tip I learned years ago watching the inimitable Nick Stellino: After oiling the baking dish, lightly coat the bottom and sides with breadcrumbs. Not only does this facilitate cleanup (it completely avoids baked-on mess!), it adds a delicious crunch and extra flavour!!
gonna try it with turkey!
Wow James, great palate!
You can substitute "Rotel" canned tomatoes/chilis instead of using the fresh version. Works well.
Looks GREAT!! I love how James watches his mom..LOL..Just the cutest!!!
Made this yesterday - it was delish and a big hit with the family! Did not have a red pepper, and mixed cheddar and mozzarella, but it worked out fine. Looking forward to making it according to the recipe next time!
Oh, man! I used to love chilli-mac when I was in the Army!!!! Thanks for this.
I have made about 30 of your dishes now. Always amazing. This is a dish I know how to make but decided to see if you had a recipe and wow only two weeks ago. Made it almost as is! And will incorporate some of it into my dishes in the future. The splash of cayenne 🎉
This recipe was super easy, and it’s so delicious ❤ moved directly into my top 5 comfort food dishes. Thanks for the recipe, love the channel
Love your videos! Great recipes and simple instructions!
Made this when our son and daughter in law came with our grandkids came and thought we would have leftovers…no leftovers!
Really delicious recipe!
The only thing I would add most likely would be fresh cilantro besides the jalapeños and the sour cream.. looks yummy 😋
Another great video! I wish we could see more of Tara. I always appreciate her comments.
Thank you for all your knowledge and these recipes. I've been cooking for years and have still found tips from you that have changed my game. Family approved as well!
My hubby wanted to try chili for the first time, so I'm definitely trying this recipe!
Nice meal. Like the idea of shells instead of elbows. If you use medium shells, you get a bit of the Chili/Cheese mixture inside the shells. I like to add a cup or so of corn. You get the color and the sweetness of the corn. And more veggies.
Sip and Feast, amazing video you deserve more views
Thanks for this and everything else . I like how you rated the pasta . It’s so helpful for those who don’t know . Close to 1M subs ❤🎉
Macaroni cheese is on another level if you mix in crispy bacon bits.
Well done. Easy to follow demo. My mouth is watering in anticipation to taste. Ingredients are now on my grocery list. ❤ 🇨🇦
thank jesus, I've been trying to figure out this kitchen for ever and how you're a cooking show with such a small sink.
I once subsided on this dish for a length of time due to a financialy low tide
Cooked it today. Had to reduce the chili for the children, turned out great anyway. Everyone loved it!
When I do chili Mac I make a good cheese sauce and combine it with a simple ground beef chili. I combine them together then add the pasta. This looks very good, but I think some folks want some creaminess beyond a stovetop Mac and cheese “topped” with chili. I enjoy your videos.
I love your son is following in your cooking footsteps! Yum, yay! Chili macaroni, love it.
I love the idea of making this into fried balls. My preference for halftime snacks would be cookie scoop size with some sort of food processor crushed chip instead of breadcrumbs. Maybe Doritos, corn chips, or pork rinds. My reality is that I lack the patience for all that scooping and rolling. I'd spread it into a parchment lined jelly roll pan or sheet pan, refrigerate it overnight, then cut it into small squares before proceeding to the breading station 😊
Her home is so charming! I can’t wait to see it done. I am still struggling with trial and error in my front north facing beds.
I have not had chili mac since basic training (2003) and this video inspired me to make it this evening. Bravo. It was really good...and much better than from the DFAC 🤣. Thank you
My family loves this kinda stuff. I just cook it start to finish in my enameled cast iron pot including boiling the pasta.
I would never have thought chili that has beans in it would be good with pasta?! But it looks SO GOOD!! And if James is giving that dish a 9 then I'm gonna try it for sure! Thanks for sharing and thanks for your review James! 👍
I'm sorry sir, did you say you have 2 kitchens?!? Life goals!
I was like, wait, what did he just say??
Glad I’m not the only one who heard that and had to ask
many cooking channels have a separate kitchen for their studio/video production. i follow a Canadian cooking channel and they converted their garage into a test kitchen for their videos.
@@bufordmustang302I watch him too!
I’m Italian, so all of us had two kitchens. One in the basement for big Sunday dinners, one upstairs for the immediate family that hardly ever got used. 🤣🤣
Love cheesy casseroles and the weather is getting cooler. Thank you!
Some homes have two bathrooms. This guy was like "Who needs two bathrooms, I'll go with two kitchens"
The chili mac and cheese looks so comforting and cheesy! Quick, easy, and loaded with flavor-
This looks awesome! Just visited your website & printed the recipe - can't wait to try it. Loved James' comment about "just seeing me" on the videos. Thanks for sharing your talents with us! Blessings from Michigan.
Oh yeah! I just made chili the other day and have so much leftover. This will give me a good use for it so I'm not eating just chili all week long.
Channel is getting close to the 1M subscriber mark. Fantastic! This looks good, but I like my chili on the sweet side, so might add some brown sugar and/or cocoa powder, and maybe swap out part of the beef stock for coffee or beer.
Chili Mac is one of my favorites. An addition I recommend is a couple tablespoons of your favorite BBQ sauce.
Awesome video🎉. You guys are great to watch while getting great recipes, Thank you!
I live and cook in a dorm so my options are limited but I think I'll make this (without baking it). It's a good recipe
I just know this is going to be an awesome recipe
Hi…love your easy recipes. Was going to make chili with rice for my grandkids this weekend but now making your Chili Mac & Cheese! Have a great weekend!❤️🇨🇦
You need to plug your patreon more! I didn't realize you had one, but I've signed up. Loved the first full meal video and I'm stoked for the next one!
Thank you so much!
DUDE!!! You are a legend!! This is absolutely KILLER!!!
Weather must be getting cooler... shifted from the Dad shorts back to jeans. 😅
Love the chili mac recipe. Going to get this one a shot this weekend.
That chili Colorado is super tasty. One of my favorites.
Great recipe, definitely one to give a go! Thank you Jim, Tara and James and I want to wish you the best on your new endeavors!🧀🫑🌶🧅🧄🫘💕👍

Could probably adjust the ground beef for some tofu, but I haven't converted them to vegetarian yet. They'll choose.
This looks so good! I'm going to try it. BTW, though, cheese does have protein in it.
Sold. After watching about seven videos, I’ll make this one.
With your pasta uncertainties, you should take a look at Priano Conchiglie. Priano is a bronze cut Durham wheat semolina pasta, product of Italy,sold exclusively by Aldi.
Made this dish tonite for my wife, we both loved it!
I'm making this tonight. Such a solid easy recipe
I LOVE chili Mac and now I am sure that I’ll love this version too. Thanks!
I am cheap and just use a premix packet or you can get a larger size of Old el Paso chili mix. For me, it is cost effective.

This looked so good that I made it the next day and shared the video with my daughter, who is going to try it.
Great content and recipe! Can't wait for James to start cooking!!
Very important to teach your family about cooking 😊
I am like James and skip to the end🤣
My kids are grown so I don't cook for them anymore but I love to see end results. I mean...I don't skip all the way through, I'll watch a minute here and there but will stay toward the end just to see the beautiful dish and the commentary is always a good time😅
This is a lot like Cincinnati chili -just without the cinnamon and unsweetened coco powder
Excited to try this version tonight
Congrats James...looking forward to watching your show.
I like the fact you are very organized and explain the recipe to the T for that you have a new subscriber 😊 thanks for sharing
That blast from the past...Allen with the hat backwards....super cool 😎
Thanks! You and the Family do a fantastic job!
This looks amazing and I love this channel so much so educational my pasta fazool is very different then Jim’s but it’s amazing I will def be trying this in a few weeks James is hilarious and I would love to see James cook
Thank you so much.
Bless you and the family and continued success on your channel👍🙏
Love this channel, love this family! I wish I was right there to enjoy that chili mac.
I might deglaze with a little beer after putting the dry spices in the meat. Great recipe and video.
Great recipe! Thank you! also, FYI cheese has lots of protein...about 6-10 grams of protein per ounce.
Yum 😋 ….great to see you guys! Hi to Tara!😊
I admire a man who makes chili from scratch! I always cheat and use Carroll Shelby's Original Texas Brand dry chili mix 🤫
