Slow Cooker Chili Mac Recipe
Slow Cooker Chili Mac is an easy comforting dish made right in your crockpot!! Uses simple ingredients right from your pantry!
Ingredients
- 1 pound 550g very lean ground beef1 small onion, chopped4 cloves garlic, minced1 (30 oz) can chili beans in chili sauce or 2 (15-16 oz) cans chili beans in chili sauce1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes2 cups beef broth1 tablespoon chili powder½ teaspoon cuminsalt and pepper to taste8 ounces elbow macaroni, uncookedDesired toppings: cheddar,sour cream, green onions, corn chips
Instructions
- Brown ground beef and drain grease. Add to a 6 qt slow cooker or larger and stir in remaining ingredients except for the pasta.
- Cover and cook for 4 hours on HIGH or 8 hours on LOW. In the last 15 minutes of cooking stir in the uncooked pasta and cover. Stir and test to see if pasta is to your liking. However, even with the slow cooker off the pasta will continue to cook just from the heat of the chili and crock itself so unless your pasta is really chewy or crunchy I strongly suggest only cooking it for the last 15 minutes of cook time.
- Serve immediately with desired toppings.
Notes
If you wish not to brown the beef first place ground beef in the bottom of your slow cooker and break into smaller chunks.
