Instructions
- Heat crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and chili seasoning in a large saucepan at medium heat, stirring frequently until simmering, then cover and cook at 130F for about an hour, so everything has a chance to cook together well.
- OPTIONAL: You can use a blander at liquefy or a hand mixer to bland until as smooth as you'd like. If you're using the blender, be careful blending hot liquids! Let the sauce sit for a few minutes before blending, start slowly, and vent the blender frequently when starting.
- Crumble and cook the hamburger in a large, deep skillet at medium high heat, stirring frequently. Drain excess fat and return to skillet.
- Add cooked elbow macaroni and sauce to skillet with hamburger, cook on medium low to medium heat until thoroughly mixed and warmed.
- Server immediately.
- Feel free to add any toppings you would like! We used grated parmesan on ours, but you could also use grated cheese of whatever kind you'd like, sour cream, chopped chives, chopped onion, salsa, crackers, etc.
