Beefy Chili Mac made slow cooker easy. Chunks of tender beef, tomatoey sauce and pasta in one bowl!

This week our #SundaySupper group is breaking out our slow cookers!

Slow cooker recipes are undeniably a hit right now, especially with the Fall and Winter months coming up! There’s no question why — there’s nothing like good, slow cooked comfort food that sticks to your ribs and just makes you happy. Plus, you can set it and forget it — there’s just nothing like slow cooked food. For this Sunday Supper, bring your best slow cooker comfort food recipes to the table. Whatever makes you happy when you need some slow cooker comfort food!

Beef Chili Mac reminds me of the days when I needed to stretch leftovers into tonight’s dinner. That can be a good thing. I created new favorites by combining old ones. Win, win!

Leftover roast, some tomato paste, seasonings and leftover macaroni made some tasty dinners.
I like chili made from beef roasts much better than hamburger types of chili. It reminds me of Sloppy Joes, which are great on a bun but no so much fun in a bowl!

For this version of chili mac, I slow cooked a Certified Angus Beef ® brand top round roast.

You can make the roast a day ahead like I did or cut it and put it back in the slow cooker and add the rest of the ingredients.
Either way you get a great meal with little effort.
