How to Make Beef And Macaroni Chili

  1. Cook 1 pound of macaroni according to package directions, usually about 7-8 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
  2. Brown 1.5 pounds of ground beef in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Break it up with a spoon as it cooks. Once browned, drain off any excess grease.
  3. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper to the saucepan.
  4. Stir well to combine and cook for 5 minutes over low heat, allowing the spices to bloom.
  5. Add the cooked macaroni and 2 (10.75 ounce) cans of condensed tomato soup to the saucepan.
  6. Stir gently to combine and heat through for about 10 minutes, or until heated thoroughly.
  7. Just before serving, stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese).
  8. Cover the saucepan and let it sit for a minute or two to allow the cheese to melt completely. Serve hot and enjoy!
