Slow Cooker - Chili & Macaroni

Ingredients:
1 pound lean ground beef 1 can (14 1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained 1 cup chopped onion 1 clove garlic, minced 1 tablespoon chili powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes 2 cups cooked macaroni

Instructions:
1. Crumble ground beef into slow cooker. Add remaining ingredients, except macaroni to slow cooker. Cover and cook on Low 4 hours. Stir in cooked macaroni. Cover and cook on Low 1 additional hour. Enjoy! To cut fat in this recipe, substitute ground turkey for the lean ground beef.

(I brown beef in pan first for a couple minutes. Then I drain fat, and add to slow cooker with onion, garlic and spices).
