directions
To a 5-qt. slow cooker, add onions, peppers, beans, diced tomatoes with chilies, cream cheese, paprika and broth. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours.
When ready to serve, stir in dry elbow pasta and cook on high until pasta is fully cooked, 30 minutes, stirring halfway through. Stir in cheese and let melt. Garnish with sour cream and green onions to serve.
Tip: If you can't find chili seasoning, make your own by combining 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper.
