This isn’t my typical meal, but I’ll tell you what – my kids LOVED it! It was very quick and easy to make – I even let my husband throw it together. You can also make this over the fire with a rack that sits on the fire and skillet. Either way you make it, it is fun and delicious!

This was a bit odd. I will try again but I'll half the macaroni. The pictures here seem heavily "chili" like but using the exact measurements, mine was very heavy on the noodles and sparse on the chili. Otherwise, it's an easy and tasty (if you add a bunch of condiments like I did- onion, sour cream, avocado etc.) dish for camping. It's not fun to clean up the pot though if you are tent camping ;)

So, you are NOT cooking this over a campfire as the name implies? My campfire is made from wood. No burner to "turn to high." Love the idea but need to adjust to a wood fire.

How long do you simmer it when you put the chili in?
