SLOW COOKER VEGETARIAN CHEESY CHILI MAC WITH OPTIONAL GROUND BEEF

Steps:

• Combine the tomatoes, beans, onion, garlic, and spices in your Crock Pot. If you're going for the full-on meat version, go ahead and brown your pound of hamburger in a separate frying pan, drain, and add that now, too. You'll add meat later if you're going half veggie/half carnie.
• Cook on low for about 7 - 9 hours. But it's pretty forgiving if you need to cook it for longer.
• Boil the macaroni according to package directions, but cut the time short by a minute or so to make sure it's just nice and al dente, or else the noodles might swell up to epic and less appetizing proportions in the finished product.
• Stir the macaroni, along with half the cheese, into the Crock Pot with the chili.
• For the half veggie/half carnie adaptetarian version, here's where you split it. If you're going all vegetarian or all meat, ignore this step and move on to Step 6. Move half of the cheesy chili maccy goodness into a medium casserole dish. Brown your half pound of hamburger in a separate frying pan, drain it, and stir the hamburger into the mixture in the casserole dish. Sprinkle over the top with half the remaining cheese, and bake the meaty version at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

• Now get cozy, and enjoy!
