Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
2 cups beef broth
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 cups elbow macaroni
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Sour cream (optional, for garnish)
Directions:
In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned.
Drain any excess fat.
Add the diced onion, garlic, red and green bell peppers to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beef broth. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then add the kidney beans and elbow macaroni. Stir well.
Cover the pot and let the chili mac simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked through and has absorbed most of the liquid.
Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions and a dollop of sour cream if desired.
