CROCKPOT CHEESY CHILI MACARONI SOUP

Crockpot Cheesy Chili Macaroni Soup – This hearty dinner combines cheesy chili and macaroni soup right in your slow cooker! The best chili-mac you’ll ever have loaded with beef, beans, cheese, and macaroni!

Ingredients

• 1 Pound Lean Ground Beef
• 1 Large Onion, Diced
• 1 15 Ounce Can Tomato Sauce
• 1 15 Ounce Can Diced Tomatoes
• 3 15 Ounce Cans Chili Beans
• 3 Cups Beef Broth
• 1 Tablespoon Chili Powder
• 2 Teaspoons Garlic Powder
• 1 Teaspoon Cumin
• 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
• 1 Teaspoon Hot Pepper Sauce, Optional
• 2 Cups Macaroni, Cooked
• 1 1/2 Cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Instructions

1. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium high heat along with the diced onion until no longer pink. Drain grease if neccessary.
2. Add the beef mixture to the bottom of your slow cooker along with the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, chili beans, beef broth, and seasonings.
3. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
4. Before serving, add the shredded cheese and cooked macaroni and stir well to combine.
5. Taste the soup and season to taste if necessary
6. I’m also going to tell you that if you grew up eating just plain old tomato based macaroni soup or American style goulash soup like I did, you’ll find that this soup completely knocks the old version right out of the water!

A classic is always good, it’s even better when we jazz it up a notch or two! This is how the easy recipes around here come to life. Simple requests, everyday ingredients, and a bit of creativity to keep dinner interesting.
