Increase heat to medium-high; bring to a boil. Once boiling, add macaroni. Cook macaroni according to package instructions, stirring occasionally, until the macaroni is tender and cooked through, usually 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in shredded cheese. Serve with desired toppings.
Notes
If you would like to add a protein (beef, chicken, turkey, tofu, etc.), either add pre-cooked or cook in your pot before starting vegetables. Set aside, and add cooked protein to the chili pot during the last 10 minutes of cooking time.Adapted from Celebrating Sweets
