Note

**Ingredient Substitutions:** For a vegan version, ensure the chili and cheese are dairy-free. You can substitute the green pepper with bell peppers of any color for added sweetness.

**Storage:** Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.

**Variations:** Add a cup of corn or diced carrots to the vegetable mix for extra texture and nutrition. For extra heat, add diced jalapeños to the sauté.

**Cooking Tip:** If you prefer a firmer texture, boil the macaroni slightly less than the package directions indicate, as it will continue to cook slightly in the oven.
