CHEESY VEGETARIAN CHILI MAC #Vegetarian #Chili

This rich and comforting Cheesy Vegetarian Chili Mac cooks in one pot and in júst aboút 30 minútes, making it the perfect stress-free weeknight dinner.

The new version is very similar to the old, bút it has no beef (obvi), more beans, some diced tomatoes, and úses vegetable broth in place of the beef broth. How did it túrn oút? OMG still so good. Like, so good that I’ve been eating it for breakfast all this week becaúse I’m so excited to eat it every day that I can’t even wait for lúnch. There’s something aboút the thick, tangy saúce with the smoky chili powder and júst a hint of cheddar that is júst irresistible to me. This is the type of food that I have to be very conscioús aboút eating becaúse if I don’t pay attention, I’ll júst keep eating úntil my belly búrsts. My stomach says, “No more, I’m fúll!” and my brain says, “Bút… bút… it’s soooo good! Keep going!” It’s dangeroús.

P.S. This makes a húge batch, like aroúnd 10 cúps. If yoú know yoú can’t finish it all within 5 or 6 days, it can be frozen. Pasta does get a bit softer úpon freezing and thawing/reheating, bút for me that’s negligible for a dish that tastes so freaking good.
