Slow cooker chili mac. It’s cold outside, but bring the warmth (and the great smells!) with this easy beef chili recipe.
We all know that comfort food does wonders for the soul. And this slow cooker chili is the perfect winter dish to make your worries drift away.
There are many variations of slow cooker chili mac that you can make. One variation is to use ground beef instead of ground turkey. Another variation is to leave out the green chilis and use black beans instead. And another variation is to use bacon instead of pepperoni.
Variation 1: Ground Beef
Ground beef makes for a heartier, meatier chili mac dish. You can use this recipe as it stands or make it your own by adding different additional ingredients like crushed red pepper flakes, garlic, cumin, oregano, or cilantro.
Variation 2: Black Beans
Add black beans to the slow cooker with everything else for a spicier dish with added protein from legumes and fiber from the beans themselves! For a vegetarian dish, omit the beef.
A slow cooker is a kitchen appliance that is often used as a crockpot. With this method, you can cook your dish at a low temperature and for a long time. This way you will enjoy a dish with the texture of meat that is cooked slowly over time.
Slow cookers are typically used to make slow-cooked dishes such as stews, soups, and ragouts. This also includes dishes like chili mac and spaghetti sauce.
The ingredients you need for this recipe are ground beef, onion, green pepper, garlic, tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
