I Call It Chili

"In my world, chili is whatever you want it to be - no rules, no arguments. I've had many people question whether or not this is "real chili" when they see it, but once they taste it they're just too busy eating to worry about it. This is a good basic recipe that can be easily modified to suit your taste. This is delicious as leftovers, but will be thicker the next day as the macaroni will absorb much of the liquid. It is VERY good this way, or you can add water when reheating."

  1. This was really good and very easy. The perfect comfort food for a cold day! I left out the crushed red pepper to adjust for my young daughter's tastes. It was still just a little too spicy for her so I put a second can of tomato sauce in the finished pot, which worked out very well. The entire family enjoyed it so I will definitely be making it again.
