I cut the oregano in half and added 1/2 t. of cumin. I make this on a regular basis and we really like it. Yum! :-)

We loved it! I substituted small diced tomatoes with seasonings for the diced tomato, and added a little garlic and it was good :) The family loved it:)

My daughter loved it!! I used a can of Rotel instead of the diced tomatoes and taco seasoning instead of the spices. Plenty left over for tomorrow's dinner!

As did other reviewers, I added more chili powder, garlic (granulated), and cumin. I thought the macaroni was a tad underdone, and would recommend either a longer simmering time or partial pre-cooking (boiling in water) prior to adding. I would also recommend petite diced tomatoes over regular diced tomatoes.

Actually, I didn't make this recipe at all, but used the overall idea to use up leftover chili we had and it turned out fantastic! I added pasta and corn to the already made chili (added just a little water to account for the added pasta) and allowed it to slow simmer on the stove with occasional stirring. Fantastic! The only difference between mine and this was that ours had beans and we didn't have cheese to put on top. I would definitely do this again, whether from scratch or as a way to stretch leftovers.
