Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt in a large pot. (NOTE: Use same for 4 ppl.) Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the rigatoni to the pot of boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min. Drain and return the pasta to same pot.
While the pasta cooks, drain and rinse the beans. Transfer to a medium bowl. Strain the tomatoes. Core, then cut the pepper into 1/4-inch pieces. Peel, halve, then dice half the onion (whole onion for 4ppl). Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl) and swirl to melt, 1 min. Add the onions, beans and peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally until softened, 3-4 min. Season with salt and pepper.
Reduce heat to medium. Sprinkle the flour and Mexican seasoning over the veggies. Cook, stirring often, until flour mixture coats the veggies, 1 min. Whisk in 2/3 cup milk (dbl for 4 ppl). Stir often, until slightly thickened, 4-5 min. Stir in the tomatoes, cheese and corn. Cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until sauce is thick and creamy, 3-4 min. Remove from heat, then season with salt and pepper.
Pour chili-cheese sauce over rigatoni in the large pot. Toss to combine.
Finely chop the chives. Divide the chili mac and cheese between bowls. Top with chives.
