    Method

    1

    Cook beef in a non stick skillet over medium heat with a little bit of water until fully cooked and no pink.

    2

    Remove from heat and drain fat/grease.

    3

    Heat oil in a large nonstick pot over medium-high heat. Cook green peppers, and onion about 5 minutes until onion translucent.  Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.

    4

    Add cooked meat, beans, tomatoes, tomato sauce, chili seasoning, milk, half the cheddar cheese, and noodles.*

    5

    Mix, cover and cook for about 10 minutes over medium heat. 

    6

    Then, uncover and cook for another 6-10 minutes.

    7

    Top off with the remaining cheddar cheese. Mix.

    8

    Garnish with roughly chopped fresh parsley and enjoy.

    *If planning to have leftovers we recommend cooking the noodles separately and adding when serving. This way noodles can be refrigerated separately and not get soggy.

    **Chili Mac Soup– Add 1-2 Cups Chicken or Beef Broth (low sodium) to thin it out into a soup consistency near the end and bring to a boil.
