Part 5/7:
Incorporate Cheese - Stir in most of the shredded cheese, saving a bit for topping. Stir until the cheese is melted and evenly distributed.
Bake the Dish - Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish and pour the chili mac mixture into it. Top with the remaining cheese, and bake in the oven for about 10 minutes until hot and bubbly. For extra crispy edges, switch to broil for the last couple of minutes, keeping an eye on it to avoid burning.
Serve and Enjoy
Once out of the oven, let the chili mac cool slightly before serving. This dish is perfect for cozy gatherings or casual dinners, offering a fulfilling meal with minimal effort.
