Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (15 oz each) Hormel Chili (with or without beans)
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 3 cups Cooked elbow macaroni
- 1 cup Diced onion
- 1.5 cups Crushed tortilla chips
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 cups Chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the diced onion until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, Hormel chili, 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, sautéed onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Spread the macaroni mixture evenly into the prepared casserole dish.
Sprinkle the crushed tortilla chips evenly over the top of the mixture.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the tortilla chips.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling around the edges and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped green onions if desired, and serve warm.
