This version of slumgullion is all about convenience without sacrificing taste. With only four pantry-friendly ingredients and a slow cooker doing most of the work, it’s ideal for students, busy families, or anyone who wants a warm, home-cooked meal without spending hours in the kitchen.
Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
- 500g ground beef
- 2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
- 1 can (about 400g) diced tomatoes (with juice)
- 2 cups beef broth
Optional (but recommended for extra flavor): salt, pepper, garlic powder, or onion powder
Step-by-Step Method
1. Brown the Ground Beef
Start by heating a pan over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook it until it’s fully browned, breaking it apart into small pieces as it cooks.
- This step is important because it adds flavor and removes excess fat.
- Once cooked, drain any extra grease to avoid an oily final dish.
