Mac n Cheese Chili

Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 400 g beef mince
  • 1.5 cups macaroni
  • 3 heaped tbsp Mexcellent Paste
  • 1 teaspoon Man Rub
  • 1 can chopped tomatoes (with onion and capsicum if you like)
  • 1 can black beans
  • 1 can kidney beans
  • 1.5 cup grated mozzarella or cheese
  • 3 cup water
  • 2 beef stock cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Ding Dong Sauce (optional)
  • Man Grind (if needed)

Instructions

  • Brown mince in oil in a deep fry pan or stove top casserole with a lid for 2-3 minutes
  • Add Mexellent Paste and Man Rub
  • Add canned tomatoes. We used a canned tomato mix with onion and capsicum for added flavor
  • Add water and stock cubes, bring to a boil
  • Add uncooked macaroni, stir and cover with a lid. Turn heat down to low to medium and simmer for 8-10 minutes. Check the cooking time of your macaroni for a better estimate. If using a cast iron casserole set the heat to low as it will retain a lot of heat.
  • Remove lid and stir through drained beans. Check the seasoning, season with your choosen salt if needed and add ding dong sauce to taste for heat if you like
  • Add most of the cheese, reserving a little to sprinkle on top
  • Mix the cheese through well to melt it and emulsify into the sauce
  • Sprinkle with remaining cheese and pop under a hot grill for 10 minutes or until golden
