Prepare the Chili: Brown the Ground Beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease. Add the Diced Tomatoes, Chili Powder, Cumin, Garlic Powder, and Cayenne Pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the Kidney Beans and cook for another 5 minutes.
Prepare the Mac and Cheese: Cook the Elbow Macaroni according to package directions. Drain and set aside. In the same pot, melt the Butter over medium heat. Whisk in the Flour and cook for 1 minute, creating a roux. Gradually whisk in the Milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened. Reduce heat to low and stir in the Cheddar Cheese, Salt, and Pepper until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Prepare the Scramble: In a bowl, whisk together the Eggs and Milk. Season with Salt and Pepper.
Assemble the Plate: Pour the egg mixture into a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are set but still slightly moist. Divide the Mac and Cheese and Chili among plates. Top with the Egg Scramble. Serve immediately.
