Notes
- Storage: Store leftover chili mac in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To make leftover chili mac a little creamier, add a splash of broth or tomato sauce before reheating.
- Freezing Instructions: Let the chili mac and cheese cool completely, transfer to a freezer-safe container, and freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, remove it from the freezer and place it in the refrigerator to thaw. When thawed, transfer to a casserole dish and reheat in the oven until warm.
