In actuality, if I'm having Cincinatti chilli I take 'em all.That variant
is *very* cinnamon/allspice forward and I'm wanting to turn down the hit
from the spices.
I actually like chilli-mac even though it's considered "ppverty food" in
its use of pasta to stretch out the protein. But I "expensify" t nup a
notch by using shredded/grated Parmesan for the cheese.
Back in the day when the generic stuff first hit the stores an 8c box
of plain clabel Man n Chereze abd a 25c can of chilli w/beansx would
feed four chirrun. Or two adults.
Not much on crackers in my chilli as I make it thick enought to not use
a sauce absorbent. If I'm out6 and about and the chilli is pretty liquid
I might go for some "oyster" crackers.but not saltiines/
Everryone's taster is different. That's why well-written menu will offer
options... Bv)=
15 oz Can of your favourite chilli
6 oz Elbow macaroni from a box of
- macaroni & cheese
Salt & pepper
Shredded Cheddar or Parmesan
Diced (1/8") onion; opt
Boil the pasta in salted water according to package
directions. Drain, reserving a half-cup of the pasta
water.
Open the can of chilli and spread over the cooked
pasta, stirring it in. Pour the reserved pasta water
into the can to get the last of the goodness from
the can to the bowl. Stir again.
Divide the result between two bowls/plates and serve.
Pass shredded cheese and diced onion.
ENJOY!!!
