Instructions

Step 1
Fill a medium saucepan about halfway with hot water (from the tap); cover with a lid and bring to a boil over high heat.
Step 2
Wash and dry the fresh produce.
Step 3
Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 4
While the skillet heats up, trim off and discard the ends of the onion and remove the outer layer; small dice the onion (cut into 6-mm pieces) and transfer to a small bowl.
Step 5
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking apart with a spoon, until browned and crumbly, 3 to 4 minutes. Once done, transfer the beef to a bowl, leaving some of the juices in the skillet.
Step 6
Once the beef has been transferred, add the onion to the skillet; cook, stirring occasionally, while you prep the bell pepper.
Step 7
Quarter the bell pepper lengthwise; remove and discard the stem, seeds, and membranes. Small dice the pepper and add to the onion.
Step 8
When the water in the saucepan comes to a boil, uncover the pan and season the water with salt, then add the pasta and stir for a few seconds. Cook the pasta, uncovered, for 11 to 12 minutes (or according to package directions). Once done, drain the pasta in a colander.
Step 9
Trim off and discard the root ends of the garlic; peel and mince or press the garlic. Add the garlic to the skillet. Cook the vegetables, stirring frequently, until softened, 2 to 3 more minutes.
Step 10
Return the beef to the skillet and season with chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
Step 11
Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet and bring the mixture to a simmer; cook until the pasta is ready.
Step 12
Trim off and discard the ends of the green onions; cut the onions crosswise into 6-mm pieces at an angle. Add about ¾ of the onions to the sauce and save the rest for garnishing.
Step 13
Coarsely grate the cheddar.
Step 14
Add the drained pasta and cheese to the sauce; stir until the cheese is melted.
Step 15
To serve, divide the chili mac between bowls and top with the remaining green onions. Enjoy!
