Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 cup of white onion diced
- 1 tablespoon diced garlic
- 1 540 ml can of petite diced tomatoes - if you can find the chili flavoured ones, they are the best
- 1 15 oz can of kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 4 cups of beef broth
- 1 tablespoon chili powder or to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups of dry elbow macaroni one 454 gram box
- 1 cup of Velveeta cheese cubed
- 1-2 cups of shredded old cheddar cheese optional
- green onions and parsley to top
Instructions
- In a large lidded skillet OR large lidded pot, fry the ground beef and onion until the beef is no longer pink and the onions are soft and translucent.
- Drain the fat then sautee the garlic for two minutes.
- Stir in the tomatoes, beans, ketchup, broth and spices. You can also use 2 tbsp of my homemade chili mix instead.
- Once those are incorporated, stir in the dry macaroni. Cover with a lid and simmer on low for 10 minutes, stirring every once in a while to make sure the macaroni doesn't stick.
- Once the noodles are al dente and the liquid has mostly evaporated, remove from the heat and stir in the Velveeta. Cover again for 5 minutes to let the cheese melt.
- Stir the now melted cheese throughout the pasta and serve topped with cheese, green onions or parsley.

Notes
- My Homemade Chili Mix is perfect in this recipe! Just use 2 tbsp of it instead of all the spices!
