Variations» Vary spiciness – Different types of chili vary a lot in ingredients and spiciness, so experiment until you find one that suits you. We preferred chili with beans, but see what you like.» Vary proportions – The basic recipe calls for half mac & cheese, half chili, but you can try macaroni & cheese with just a touch of chili, or vice versa.» Make your own chili –This can be time consuming, but yields the optimal flavor. Whenever you make chili, make a big batch and save some to serve with mac & cheese. It freezes well, so make lots!
