Crockpot Chili Mac Recipe

I felt like sharing a recipe this morning before I head into my sewing room to tackle that red and white strippy quilt!  I'm making it a little bigger than I originally planned, so I need to sew some more strip sets together this morning!

Enjoy!

Crockpot Chili Mac

1 pound Ground beef

1 onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 green bell pepper chopped

1 15 ounce can Chili Sauce, no beans

1 10 ounce can condensed Tomato Soup

2 tsp. chili powder

1/8 tsp. pepper

1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper

2 Tbsp. Flour

15 ounce can kidney beans or chili beans, drained but not rinsed

1 cup water

1 cup grated cheddar cheese

1 1/2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni

In large skillet, brown ground beef with onion and garlic, drain well if necessary. Add green pepper and cook for another 2 - 3 minutes. Sprinkle with flour and cook for 2 minutes. Pour into 4-quart crockpot.

Add remaining ingredients except the cheddar cheese and uncooked elbow macaroni.  Cover and cook for 2 -3 hours on low. 

Add macaroni to slow cooker and turn heat to high. Cover and cook for 10 - 15 minutes until macaroni is tender.  Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top and serve!
