Instructions
Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, until cooked through. Add to your slow cooker.
Add the remaining ingredients (except for the macaroni and the cheese). Stir to combine.
Cover and cook 2-3 hours on HIGH or 4-6 on LOW (can let simmer on low up to 8 hours).
Stir in the cheese and stir until melted. Add the pasta and stir gently to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Enjoy!
Notes
After testing this recipe several times, I recommend boiling your noodles separately because they tend to get a bit gummy in the slow cooker. However, to cook the pasta directly in the slow cooker, add it during the last 45 minutes of the cooking time. Stir in the pasta, ensuring that it is all submerged. Cover and cook until just tender.
