Healthier Chili Mac Recipe

Healthier Chili Mac Recipe

Our version of a Chili Mac Recipe has all of the cheesy, pasta comfort of the original, with much less fat and calories thanks to some healthier swap outs. We use whole-wheat pasta, ground turkey breast, and just enough 2% sharp cheddar cheese to retain that super cheesy factor without going overboard.
