Super Easy Mac & Chili Beans Dinner 🍲

Servings: 6 (with seconds for everyone!)
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 boxes of Mac and Cheese (you can use any brand, but Kraft is a classic)
  • 2 cans of Chili Beans (about 15 oz each – you can use mild or spicy depending on your preference)
  • Bread and Butter (optional, for serving – adds extra comfort)
  • Optional Add-ins:
  • Hot dogs (cut into slices for added protein and flavor)

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Mac and Cheese
  • In a large pot, prepare the 2 boxes of Mac and Cheese following the package instructions. This typically involves boiling water, adding the pasta, and cooking it for about 7-8 minutes. Be sure to drain the pasta once it’s cooked.
  1. Add the Chili Beans
  • While the pasta is cooking, open 2 cans of chili beans and add them to the pot with the cooked pasta. Stir everything together and bring to a simmer. The chili beans will heat up quickly, and their flavorful sauce will mix with the mac and cheese for a creamy, savory dish.
  1. Optional: Add Hot Dogs
  • If you want to make the dish even more filling, add cut-up hot dogs to the pot. Simply slice them into small pieces and add them to the mix. Stir to combine and let everything simmer for a couple more minutes until the hot dogs are heated through.
  1. Serve
  • Once everything is hot and well combined, it’s ready to serve!
  • For a classic touch, serve with bread and butter on the side to make it even more comforting.

Notes:

  • This dish is super quick, making it perfect for those long, tiring days when you want something filling and easy.
  • Picky eaters love it—especially kids who enjoy comfort foods like mac and cheese and chili beans!
  • The bread and butter side really helps stretch the meal and adds to the homey feel.
  • The hot dogs are a great way to sneak in some extra protein, but the dish is still just as satisfying without them.

This Mac & Chili Beans dinner is so easy to throw together and will have everyone asking for seconds. Plus, it’s a great way to mix up the usual routine without spending too much time in the kitchen. 😋🍽
