How to Make Beef And Macaroni Chili
- Cook 1 pound of macaroni according to package directions, usually about 7-8 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
- 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.
- Add 2 cloves of minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper to the saucepan.
- Stir well to combine and cook for 5 minutes over low heat, allowing the spices to bloom.
- Add the cooked macaroni and 2 (10.75 ounce) cans of condensed tomato soup to the saucepan.
- Stir gently to combine and heat through for about 10 minutes, or until heated thoroughly.
- Just before serving, stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese).
- Cover the saucepan and let it sit for a minute or two to allow the cheese to melt completely. Serve hot and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
