"Going through my favorite recipe files I came across this recipe, it's made with a box of Hamburger Helper, Chili Macaroni flavor and I can remember just how great it was! This can be made with Italian sausage in place of ground beef, because of the longer cooking time I cooked the macaroni separately to add in towards the end otherwise the macaroni will be to soft, you can adjust all amounts to suit you taste, if you like it really spicy add in some crushed chili flakes or hot sauce or a diced jalapeno pepper in with the ground beef while browning, this is a budget-friendly recipe that is big on flavor!"

Step by Step Method
Step 1
In a large high-sided skillet cook the chopped bacon until just browned (this will not take long and the bacon should not be to crisp). Add in ground beef and onion; cook until the beef is light browned. Add in garlic, diced green bell pepper and mushrooms; cook 2-3 minutes.
Step 2
Add in the water, the seasoning pouch from the Hamburger Helper, chili powder, kidney beans and tomato sauce and Parmesan cheese; bring to a boil stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for about 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally and seasoning with salt and pepper as needed (if the mixture gets to thick for your liking towards the end of cooking time just add in more water and continue cooking).
Step 3
At the end of cooking time mix in the cooked macaroni.
Step 4
Ladle into bowls sprinkle with cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream.
