This Crockpot Chili Mac and Cheese recipe combines the flavors of hearty chili with cheesy mac and cheese, all cooked in one easy slow cooker dish. Perfect for a family-friendly meal, it's packed with ground beef, beans, pasta, and plenty of melted cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 packet chili seasoning (or homemade)
  • 2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (plus extra for topping)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: sliced green onions, jalapeños, sour cream, cilantro

Instructions

  1. Cook the ground beef:
    In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with diced onion and garlic, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Transfer to crockpot:
    Add the cooked beef, diced tomatoes, kidney beans, tomato sauce, beef broth, and chili seasoning to the crockpot. Stir to combine.
  3. Slow cook:
    Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, allowing the flavors to meld.
  4. Add the pasta and cheese:
    About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the uncooked elbow macaroni. Cover and cook on high for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the pasta is tender.
  5. Stir in cheese and sour cream:
    Once the pasta is cooked, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream until melted and creamy. Taste and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper if needed.
  6. Serve:
    Garnish with your favorite toppings like green onions, jalapeños, or extra cheese, and serve hot.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
  • For extra heat, add diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
