     Title: Chilli Mac
Categories: Beef, Chilies, Herbs, Vegetables, Pasta
     Yield: 5 servings

     1 tb Oil
     1 lb Ground beef
     1    Yellow onion; fine chopped
     1 tb Chilli spice mix
     1 tb Ground cumin
     1 tb Garlic powder
          Salt & pepper
    28 oz Can crushed fire-roasted
          - tomatoes
    14 oz Can chicken broth
    15 oz Can pinto beans; undrained
     8 oz Elbow macaroni or another
          - small pasta
     1 tb Worcestershire sauce
     4 oz Grated sharp Cheddar; more
          - for serving
          Hot sauce, thin sliced
          - scallions & chopped
          - cilantro; to serve

 In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over
 medium-high. Add the beef and press into an even layer
 to fill the pot. Sprinkle with the onion. Cook,
 undisturbed, until the beef is deeply browned
 underneath, 6 to 8 minutes (the meat won’t be fully
 cooked). If you don’t see fat sizzling around the edges
 of the pot, add a teaspoon or two of more oil.

 Add the chilli spice, cumin and garlic powder and season
 generously with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up the
 beef with a spoon into small pieces, until the onion is
 softened and the spices are fragrant, 2 to 4 minutes.

 Add the tomatoes, chicken broth, beans and their liquid,
 pasta and Worcestershire sauce and scrape up any browned
 bits stuck to the bottom of the pot. Simmer, stirring
 often, until the pasta is al dente, 10 to 12 minutes. If
 the pot starts to look dry at any point, add water, ¼
 cup at a time.

 Turn off the heat and stir in the Cheddar, if using,
 until melted. Season to taste with salt, pepper and hot
 sauce (if using). Serve topped with scallions, cilantro,
 hot sauce and more Cheddar as desired.
