Subj : 100 Easy Dinners - 73 To : All From : Dave Drum Date : Fri Dec 06 2024 06:15 pm MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 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. By: Ali Slagle Yield: 4 to 6 servings RECIPE FROM: https://cooking.nytimes.com Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives MMMMM ....
