Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained

- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 teaspoon chili powder

- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- 8 ounces elbow macaroni
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup milk
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef and onion in a large pot over medium heat. Drain off any excess fat.
- Add the kidney beans, diced tomatoes, Ro-Tel, beef broth, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil.
