It’s another Frugal Food Friday! I am sharing another family favorite. My husband especially loves chili mac. It’s easy to throw together and what I love about it is that all of the ingredients are items you should have in your pantry/freezer.
We enjoy this meal with a salad on the side for more veggies! I always keep macaroni, canned tomatoes, and chili powder in my pantry. Hamburger meat is bought in bulk and stored in the freezer. As long as I remember to thaw it out, I can whip up a dinner in under 30 minutes!
