How to Make Marvelous Macaroni Chili
- Cook 1 pound of macaroni according to package directions until al dente, about 6-8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 bell pepper (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), and 2 cloves of garlic (minced). Cook for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
- Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans (drained and rinsed), 1 (15 ounce) can black beans (drained and rinsed), 1 cup vegetable broth, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Add the cooked macaroni to the saucepan and gently stir to combine. Cook for 5 minutes over low heat, allowing the macaroni to absorb the chili flavors.
- Remove from heat and let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to deepen.
- Serve hot, garnished with your favorite toppings (shredded cheese, sour cream, green onions) and a side of warm cornbread if desired.
