Easy Cooking: Chili Mac

Let's face it, Monday's are the hardest for most of us. Back to work, back to school and back to the weekly routine of life. By Monday evening I am exhausted. I get so use to the calm, slow moving atmosphere over the weekend that I feel like I've ran a marathon by the time it comes for me to prepare dinner.

Lately I've been doing a lot of pinning on Pinterest to find easy simple recipes that take no time to make and it has been a success. Pinterest really has become my lifestyle assistant.

One of the newest recipes I have tried left my belly full and my taste buds satisfied. Even Madison ate almost her entire bowl!!

1 15 oz. Can of tomato soup
2 cups Water
