Chili Mac and Cheese
Ingredients
- Olive oil1 tbsp

- Bell pepper1
- Ground beef500 g
- Canned tomato · crushed800 g

Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large pot over high heat. Add the garlic and onion and cook for 1 minute. Add the capsicum and cook until the onion is translucent.
- Add the beef and cook, breaking it up as you go, until it turns from red to brown.
- Add all remaining ingredients except the cheese. Stir, bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium.
- Cover and cook for 12 minutes, or until the macaroni is al dente (just cooked, still a little firm). The sauce should be saucy but not have lots of liquid.
- Turn off the stove but leave the pot on it. Stir in half the cheese; the sauce should be a bit saucy. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
- Top with the remaining cheese, cover and leave for about 2 minutes until the cheese melts. The sauce will keep absorbing liquid during this time.
- Sprinkle with coriander if desired and serve immediately.
