I have to tell you friends, not all corn dip is created equally. This recipe is a combination of all the best parts of several recipes, plus a little bit of my own spin.

I love to treat myself to a piping hot bowl of savory chili on a windy fall day. My secret ingredient is taco seasoning mix instead of chili powder. I use elbow macaroni instead of spaghetti noodles because it’s easier to eat and a lot less mess. I serve it with sour cream, cheese, corn chips and a splash of hot sauce for a little southwestern spice. Whatever you decide to eat with your chili, I hope you’ll enjoy this hearty, comforting recipe.
