Time 1h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
2 pounds lean ground beef
½ cup chopped onion
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (14 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
1 (1.25 ounce) package chili seasoning mix
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cheddar cheese soup
1 (10.75 ounce) can milk
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
½ cup sour cream
1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup crushed tortilla chips
½ cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the macaroni, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook and stir the ground beef with onion until the meat is browned, about 10 minutes. Break the meat up into crumbles as it cooks; drain excess grease. Mix in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, corn, kidney beans, taco seasoning, and chili seasoning; bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes.
  • Whisk the Cheddar cheese soup and milk in a saucepan until smooth, and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Whisk in 1 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup of sour cream, and garlic powder; season to taste with salt and black pepper.
  • Arrange the cooked macaroni into the bottom of a 10x15-inch baking dish, and mix with the soup mixture. Pour the ground beef chili over the macaroni, and sprinkle with 1 more cup shredded Cheddar cheese and crushed tortilla chips.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the casserole is hot and bubbling and the cheese topping has melted, 20 to 30 minutes. Serve topped with dollops of sour cream.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of beans. This will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and white beans.
  • Don't skip the chili powder. It's the key ingredient that gives chili macaroni soup its signature flavor. If you don't have any on hand, you can substitute a teaspoon of ground cumin and a teaspoon of paprika.
  • Add some spice. If you like your soup spicy, add a teaspoon or two of cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes. You can also add some diced jalapeños or serrano peppers.
  • Don't overcook the macaroni. It should be cooked al dente, so that it still has a little bit of a bite to it. If you overcook it, it will become mushy and ruin the texture of the soup.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, diced onions, and chopped cilantro.

Conclusion:

Chili macaroni soup is a hearty and delicious soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover chili. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make a pot of this soup that your whole family will love.
