Family and friends love this recipe. I use three power foods: tomatoes, black beans and olive oil, plus whole wheat pasta. It's comfort food to feel good about! —Krissy Black, Mt. Vernon, Ohio

We loved this. The only change I made was I increased the cheese. It's delicious as it is though. Garnished with dollop of sour cream and some taco sauce. It was YUMMY. I will definitely be making this again. It is going in my printed recipe book of tried and true favorites. Thanks for sharing.

I left out the spicy ingredients because of the kids, but it was still very good. Both my husband and one of my super finicky kids went back for seconds.

Fantastic! It's fairly quick to throw together. We were feeling the fire so we topped our chili mac with a dollop of sour cream.

Good recipe for something different. I doubled the amount of elbows. Still spicy, but good flavor.

I put Jalapeno peppers on the side and added a green bell pepper and 2 packs of prepared chili seasoning, used 2/3 pinto beans - 1/3 black and increased the recipe to feed 40. It was tasty and popular with all.
