TOTAL TIME
1
In a Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat.
2
Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart until completely browned. Strain the meat and return it to the pot.
3
Add diced onions and minced garlic to the pot, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the onions are tender and translucent.
4
Stir in the flour and cook for one minute, stirring constantly to cook out the 'floury' taste.
5
Add chili powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, tomato sauce, and beef broth into the pot, stirring to deglaze it.
6
Mix in the uncooked elbow noodles and cover the pot with a lid.
7
Once the mixture reaches a simmer, lower the heat to maintain the simmer and cook for 15 minutes, frequently stirring to prevent sticking, until the noodles absorb the liquid.
8
Remove the Dutch oven from heat and stir in softened cream cheese and 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar until smooth and well-combined.
9
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top and serve the chili mac topped with the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheddar.
