Finally! One of the main things I wanted to share with this blog was my adventures in the kitchen. And now I've actually had time to cook something up.
I made up some chili-mac for my friends last night. They all liked it a lot. Way more than I expected. It's a family 'recipe', if you can call it that. It's not precise, just a collection of ingredients mixed to taste.
The simplest way to make this is to take leftover chili and mix it with macaroni and cheese. I didn't have any leftover chili, so we used Hormel brand from the store and browned up some extra hamburger to give it more beef. (Haha)
Tips and tricks...
Use plain macaroni and add Velveeta to the sauce.
Use lots of garlic.
I use ancho pepper and chili con carne fro Penzey's to season the beef. These both have little heat, so they provide a good base flavor and you can add chili powder to the sauce later.
Garnish with cheese and sour cream. Because why not?
If you'd like a more comprehensive list of ingredients, let me know!
