Notes

Cooking Time Flexibility: If pressed for time, you can increase the cooking temperature slightly to shorten the overall cooking time while ensuring the flavors meld together.
Batch Cooking: Consider doubling the recipe and freezing individual portions for quick meals on busy days, reheating them for a convenient and satisfying dinner option.
Broil for Crispy Top: For a crispy top layer, transfer the Chili Mac to an oven-safe dish after slow cooking, sprinkle with cheese, and broil for a few minutes until bubbly and golden.
