  • veggie broth
  • elbow, cavatappi, or pasta of choice – use gluten-free if desired

How to make this one-pot chili mac

  • Sauté veggies and crumblers. Sauté veggies and olive oil in a large saucepan. Cook for a couple minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the crumblers and cook for another five minutes, stirring often.
  • Add remaining ingredients except cheese and simmer. Stir in the remaining ingredients (except cheese) and increase the heat, bringing the mixture to a boil. Place a lid on the pan and bring the heat to low, simmering until the pasta is al dente (about 12-15 minutes)

    Made this today, it’s pure comfort food! I did add some hot sauce to the finished product, and added a chipotle pepper with adobo sauce in when I added the cheese for a bit more heat. I’ll be making this often 😀
