So…I arrived home late and we had tickets to the lantern festival. We needed something quick and simple for dinner. Just wanted some inexpensive mac and cheese-it’s so good! My husband doesn’t love mac and cheese like I do so I decided to add a few things to make it have more flavor. He likes chili and chicken. added those two things to the mac and cheese and ended up with this yummy dish. He loved it and said, “we have to have this again.” I was not expecting that but, I was happy!! Happy, also, that I had a recipe for busy nights that would make my people happy!! The links to the items I used are below and here: Kirkland’s canned chicken. Of course, don’t forget to add your favorite grated cheddar cheese to the top to finish the dish.
