Have your beans drained, cheese shredded, and spices measured before you turn on the heat. This is not the moment to realize you still need to open the can of tomatoes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pick your pasta wisely:<\/strong> Classic elbow macaroni works best because it cooks evenly and grabs onto the sauce. Shells or rotini will also work if that is what you have, but avoid long pasta like spaghetti unless you enjoy frustration.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Beans are flexible:<\/strong> I use a mix of black beans and kidney beans for color and texture, but you can use what is in your pantry. Just rinse them well so you do not end up with murky chili mac.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spice level is up to you:<\/strong> I like a little cayenne and chili powder for warmth, but you can leave it mild or add jalape&ntilde;os or chipotles for extra heat. This is a choose your own adventure recipe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cheese:<\/strong> Sharp cheddar melts beautifully and gives the best flavor.

Cook it completely, cool it, then store it in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of broth or water to loosen it back up.<\/p> <\/details> <details open class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1753816625907\"><summary><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Does this freeze well?<\/h3><\/summary> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Absolutely. Let it cool, portion it into freezer bags or containers, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat on the stove.<\/p> <\/details> <details open class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1753816645989\"><summary><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I use a different pasta shape?<\/h3><\/summary> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Sure thing. Shells, rotini, or penne all work. Avoid long noodles like spaghetti because they do not hold the sauce as well.<\/p> <\/details> <details open class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1753816679459\"><summary><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What about making it vegetarian?<\/h3><\/summary> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Skip the beef and double the beans or add soy crumbles. Use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and you are good to go.<\/p> <\/details> <details open class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1753816707098\"><summary><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">How spicy is this?<\/h3><\/summary> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Mild as written, if you&rsquo;re using mild chili powder. If you love heat, add more cayenne or toss in jalape&ntilde;os or chipotles in adobo when you add the onions.<\/p> <\/details> <details open class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1753816805146\"><summary><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I make this in a slow cooker?<\/h3><\/summary> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. Brown the beef and onion first, then add everything (except cheese) to the slow cooker. Cook on low 4 to 5 hours or high about 2 hours. Stir in cheese right before serving.<\/p> <\/details> <details open class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1753816817049\"><summary><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">How about an Instant Pot version?<\/h3><\/summary> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Use saut&eacute; mode for the beef, onion, and spices. Add remaining ingredients (except cheese), seal, and cook on high pressure for 4 minutes. Quick release, stir in cheese, and serve.<\/p> <\/details> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Made this dish for dinner and my husband absolutely loved it!
