t's easy! It's delicious! It's family friendly!
It was cool today and quite honestly I have been thinking of making Chili for a week so since I had everything handy to make it dinner became Chili Mac!
I lb. ground beef
1 medium onion chopped
3 tsp. chili powder
1 large can tomato juice( you can use crushed tomatoes too as an option).
1 can light kidney beans rinsed and drained
1 can dark red kidney beans rinsed and drained
1 cup dry elbow macaroni(cooked a dente)
Shredded cheddar cheese for topping(optional)or add the cheese to the macaroni while warm and stir well.
Salt and pepper to taste
It’s your decision how to make this recipe. ****Note bottom of post! Enjoy!
In a small amount of oil brown meat with salt, pepper and onion. Break in coarse pieces while it cooks.
Place browned meat mixture in crockpot add tomato juice, chili powder and beans.
Cover. Set crockpot on low for 5 to 6 hours or high for 4 hours. If you are going to be out all day low is fine.
Approximately 10 minutes before serving add 1 cup cooked a’dente elbow macaroni stir and cover. lol
*****Note: I like to add my shredded sharp cheese to my cooked macaroni and when serving place the cheese macaroni on bottom of dish and scoop a huge ladle of chili on top. You can add additional shredded for garnish.

Do you add the elbow macaroni dry or cooked?
10 minutes doesn't sound long enough to cook the pasta in a slow cooker?
I did add them in uncooked but to be safe cook them before. I didn't add that much and maybe my guesstimate on time was not correct. I get to doing other things and time goes quickly so to be safe and also depending on how much pasta you are adding cook the pasta before. It really is a delicious meal. :) M.j.
