Skillet Chili Mac with Corn and Green Chile's

Adapted from: My Kitchen Cafe

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 package Morning Star Crumbles
1 onion, minced
3/4 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 tablespoon ground coriander (substitute ground cumin for a smokier flavor)
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 8 oz. cans tomato sauce
2 cups water
8 ounces (2 cups) elbow macaroni
1 cup frozen corn
1 4.5-oz can chopped green chiles
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
2 cups shredded cheese (I used a combination of cheddar and monterey jack but you can use pepper jack or a Mexican shredded cheese blend)

Heat oil in a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the Griller crumbles, onion, chili powder, coriander, cumin and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook until heated through. Stir in garlic and brown sugar and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in tomato sauce, water, and macaroni. Cover and cook, stirring often and keeping the heat at a steady simmer, until the macaroni is tender, about 12-12 minutes.

Stir in 1 cup of the cheese, frozen corn, green chiles and cilantro and sprinkle remaining 1 cup of cheese over the top. Cover and let sit off the heat until the cheese melts, about 2 minutes.
