Interesting, mixing chilli and mac&cheese. I'm gonna try this did you just make the two separately and combined them in the end or did you cook them together? Genuinely curious

Made more or less together.

You don't make real chili (which I take a long time on; several hours of simmering and tons of spices). Brown the onions and garlic; brown the meat and throw in a couple spices, then add the other ingredients and simmer. I also finished it under the broiler.

So to answer your question more directly -- :)) -- you make a super simple and not spicy chili first and then put everything else in and cook together. The flavors do work well together.
