Macaroni & Chilli Con Carne

One-pot dinner is life saving for busy parents. I use to cook ‘Macaroni & Beef Mince’ quite often when my children were young. It is quick and easy to prepare, the dish is nutritious, and my children loved it. This is a similar one-pot dish. It’s basically my ‘Chilli Con Carne’. I added Uncooked Dry Macaroni and extra Stock. Quick, easy, nutritious and delicious. If it is for young children, alter the amount of Chilli.
