Have to admit, I was surprised to see it listed on the Hard Times Cafe menu.

They have a number of chilis, tons of beer and pool tables.  If ever near Hagerstown, MD, check it out.

Chili Mac

Your choice of chili over spaghetti. All chili is served with homemade cornbread.

3-Way Chili Mac
Spaghetti, chili and cheese.

4-Way Chili Mac
Spaghetti, chili, cheese and onions.

5-Way Chili Mac
Spaghetti, chili, cheese, onions and beans.

 

Oh the wife just made another version of chili mac the other day only without spaghetti, she used a smaller spoon size macaroni, not bad at all.

AND she used the square, deep copper pot I bought her....."AS SEEN ON TV", cooks great easy to handle but there are a few quirks about cooking with it, good thing is it will go on stove or in the oven.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ALSO I went back over the last 5-6 pages here, always some interesting ideas......plus that Chicago style beef sandwich has to be coming soon!

My wife makes her Chili with a special secret ingredient.....which I ain't disclosing.   But she will be entering it into My Kiwanis Club's Chili Cookoff on Saturday.     Maybe she can win!!!

Interesting. My wife never reads this board but guess what's in the crock pot? Chili!. I used the leanest hamburger meat I could find and filled it full of chopped up green & red Bell peppers, onion, pinto beans, diced tomatoes & sauce and appropriate spices. Now I just have to limit my intake the next few days.

If she wins will you post the recipe?

I'll bet she uses the Carolina Reaper, judged in 2013 by Guinness World Records as the hottest chili pepper in the world.

Run Gip! It's an assassination attempt.

I only put onions and stewed tomatoes in it, and of course the spices. 

  Add the Pinto beans the last couple hours or so.  I like pinto beans in my chili.  Helps me out the next morning, if you know what I mean.

Not without her permission.

And for the person that suggested the Carolina Reaper....uhh...sorry...it is a very mild chili honestly.   Hers is actually very bland unless she uses her secret ingredient.   But that ingredient isn't necessarily a "spicy" addition.

II worked with a guy from Barberton, a retired cop who was also of Serbian  background.   He passed away a few years ago.   He said they have some good fried chicken down there also.

Yes, Barberton is famous for its fried Chicken...but it is not to everyone's taste.  The not so secret secret is that they fry it in lard.  And some just don't like that.  My wife will not eat it. 

But you have  White House Chicken,   Hopocan Gardens,  Belgrade Gardens,  The Village Inn.    ( a couple did close down: Terrace Gardens

KFC was fried in lard back in the day (when it was still good).

That's the way my grandmother cooked and in her cast iron pans! Best cook I've ever known.

Years back as a treat I'd get a big bucket of extra crispy, a 12 pack of Strohs beer and a carton of cigarettes for grandma and we'd play cards......a really cool little woman!

I'm with Canton Mike- no beans in the chili please. 

Regarding seafood- I'm weird in that respect- I have one (of many) food rules. If it came out of the water, I don't eat it. Once upon a time I thought I might like grilled swordfish, but I was wrong. Way back, up in Alaska I took a few nibbles of my pal's alderwood smoked salmon, and didn't like it very much. I can put a shrimp in my mouth, and five minutes later, I'm still chewing on it. Lobster? Forget it. Vacationing with my pals in Bar Harbor I told them- "the only good lobster is a dead lobster". I'll happily cook them for you on one condition- you have to eat them. Just the sight of an oyster grosses me out. You'd think growing up on the shores of Lake Erie I would eat yellow perch that were caught only a few hours ago, but I've never warmed to that stuff..

No seafood in my wife's chili.....but I do believe she uses beans.

Hey Larry,

Some day go to The Black Pelican in Kitty Hawk, NC. Try the blackened tuna or at least the "grilled tuna bites with salsa". I get BOTH every trip & even "fish haters" in my family love these. Both are very flavorful without a "fishy" taste.
