KID PLEASING'CHILI MAC

Steps:

• Start your water boiling for macaroni, per product instructions, but omitting butter. I usually start with hot water and use a lid for the pot so the water boils faster.
• Slice wieners in half lengthwise but keep the round shape together.
• Now, cut them cross-wise into segments so that you end up with several evenly cut pieces per wiener.
• By now your water should be boiling.
• Add your macaroni and the wieners to the water.
• Prepare the rest of the macaroni as usual, cooking for about 11-13 minutes, removing from heat and draining.
• Add powdered cheese, Campbell's can of cheese soup (or Velveeta), and can of chili sauce.
• You can add a can of diced tomatoes, plain or with green chili's if your kids like a little zing in their food.
• That's the way we like it.
• Mix well and serve.
