In my town, you know it is Fall when the Persimmon Festival arrives. Well, the Persimmon Festival is here, and it has given me not only a hankering for some Persimmon Pudding but for chili. So when I saw the original recipe in Gooseberry Patch’s 303 ‘Round the Clock Recipes, I couldn’t wait to adapt it to become this Crock Pot Chili Mac Casserole! Yum!

Mix together all of your ingredients, except for your mozzarella, in a large bowl. Spread your mixture into a sprayed casserole crock or 6-quart crock pot. Sprinkle your cheese evenly across the top. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours.

Do you use chili with or without beans?
You can use whichever you want. I have tried it with both and enjoyed it both ways. Enjoy!
Love your videos. Do you have a cookbook with all these wonderful comfort crock pot dishes. I Get excited to try out your new crock pot dishes. Your husband does a good job cooking and makes it fun to cook.
Thank you for your kind comments Caroline! I’m sorry. We do not have a cookbook.
I HAVE PRINTED AND TRIED SEVERAL RECIPES THE PROBLEM IS I HAVE A SLOW COOKER AND THE RECIPES ALWAYS SAY COOK FOR 4 HOURS ON HIGH OR 2 ON LOW. I WORK 10 HOURS AND DO NOT HAVE TIME TO COOK WHEN I GET HOME. I AM LOOKING FOR SLOW COOKER RECIPES THAT I CAN PUT IN WHEN I LEAVE IN THE MORNING AND WILL BE READY (NOT OVERCOOKED) WHEN I GET HOME SO I CAN EAT AND START MY SECOND JOB. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
Hi Terrie!

15oz Chili, something like Hormel Chili or Chili Beans?
You are correct TIna. I used a can of chili, not chili beans.
Enjoy!

2 cups of macaroni that have been cooked and become al dente…….or one cup of macaroni which has doubled to 2 cups because of cooking?
Hi Karen!
You need to cook 2 cups of dry macaroni to al dente. Enjoy!
