Chili Mac & Cheese

Step 1

Fire up your Pit Boss pellet grill to Smoke with the lid open until a fire is established (about 5 minutes). Preheat to 350°F. If you’re using a gas or charcoal grill, set it up for medium heat.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in Dutch oven or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Add garlic, onion and ground beef, and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes. Break up the beef as it cooks with a large wooden spoon or fork.

Step 3

Stir in beef broth, tomatoes, beans, Sweet Heat Rub, chili powder and cumin. Add salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer and stir in pasta.

Step 4

Transfer pot to the preheated grill and cover. Cook until pasta is cooked through, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and top generously with shredded cheese, replace the cover to allow cheese to melt, about 2 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately!
