Chili mac is a dish prepared using chili con carne and macaroni as primary ingredients, which is often topped or intermingled with cheese.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4] Some versions are made using prepared or homemade macaroni and cheese.^[5]^[6] It is a common dish in the cuisine of the Midwestern United States, and is also popular in other areas of the United States.^[1]

Several variations of the dish exist, and prepared canned and boxed versions also exist.
