Creamy, cheesy, hearty, and packed with flavor, this dish is perfect for busy weeknights or laid-back weekends. With just a handful of ingredients, you’ll have a crowd-pleasing meal ready with minimal effort.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

1 big block of Velveeta – The ultimate in creamy, meltable cheese!
1 8oz block of cream cheese – Adds a rich, tangy depth to the sauce.
1 can of cream of chicken soup – For that comforting, savory flavor.
1 can of Rotel Tomatoes with chilies – A little spice, a lot of flavor!
2.25 pounds ground beef – Adds protein and heartiness.
1 box of bowtie noodles – Perfect for soaking up all that cheesy goodness!

How to Make It:

*Prep your Crockpot: Set it to *high so it’s nice and warm, ready to melt those cheeses into creamy perfection.
Brown the ground beef: In a large pan, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat, and add the cooked beef to your crockpot.
Cheesy base: Add your block of Velveeta, cream cheese, cream of chicken soup, and Rotel tomatoes (with chilies) into the crockpot with the beef. Give it a quick stir to combine everything, then cover and let the magic happen.
Cook on high for about 1.5 hours: This gives the cheeses plenty of time to melt and mingle with the beef and other flavors. Stir occasionally to make sure everything is blending well.
Boil your noodles: About 15 minutes before serving, cook your bowtie noodles according to the package instructions. Reserve about a cup of pasta water to help thin out the sauce if needed.
Finish it up: Once your noodles are cooked, stir them into the crockpot. If the sauce is a bit too thick, add some of the reserved pasta water until it reaches your desired consistency.
Serve and enjoy: Dish it up in bowls, and you’re ready to dig into a cheesy, hearty meal that’s sure to satisfy!

Pro Tip:

If you’re a fan of customization, feel free to toss in extras like sautéed onions, bell peppers, or even a little hot sauce for more kick. You can also swap out the ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
