MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: CHILI MAC FOR AUSTRALIANS Categories: Australian, Usan, Pasta, Beef Yield: 8 Servings 500 g Beef mince 1 Onion (chopped) 3 cl Garlic 400 g Diced tomatoes (can) 1 c Water 400 g Baked beans (can) 150 ml Tomato paste 2 t Hot paprika 2 pk Taco seasoning (Mission) 4 c Fusilli pasta, cooked 300 g Cheddar cheese, grated 2 Glasses red wine 2 sl Wholemeal bread 3 t Mixed herbs 200 ml Yoghurt Sriracha hot sauce Sweet paprika Cook fusilli (spirali) pasta al dente. Saute chopped onion and garlic until soft, add beef mince and break up lumps. Cook until no longer pink. Add can of diced tomatoes, water, taco seasoning (Mission brand preferred) and 1 glass of red wine. Simmer until meat almost cooked. Add tomato paste, baked beans, hot paprika, second glass of red wine and cook out the alcohol. Stir in sriracha to taste. Place cooked fusilli pasta in two casserole dishes and spoon meat sauce over. Grate cheese over the meat sauce, and bake in 200 C oven for 15 minutes, until sauce has seeped down into the pasta, and the cheese has melted to a smooth layer. Remove casseroles from oven and crumble bread and mixed herbs together on top of cheese. Return casseroles to oven and use grilling element to toast the crumbs. Remove and grate the rest of the cheese over the bread crumbs. Arrange yoghurt in dollops on cheese. Dust with paprika. Return casseroles to oven and grill to toast cheese. (Note that a simpler version omits the bread-yoghurt topping, and just finishes with the cheese grilled to toast.) Eat while hot. Created by Kevin and Glen, August '09. MMMMM
