That kinda day...
Took out frozen spaghetti sauce, let it thaw out <never actually confirmed it was actually spaghetti sauce> boiled the noodles, got ready to reheat sauce --- yep, it is chili.... now, what am I gonna do with all these noodles? ??????
At least it was food! My poor Mom once unthawed a hydrocolator thinking it was a steak!
It was a very disappointing dinner.... ?
Is that a refreezable cold pack?
See there is a positive.... for me
@bingst Indeed. They were made of fabric and filled with "I do not know what" - they were big and heavy and you boiled them.
A lot like boiling something filled with sand if you can imagine that?
Then look on her face when the foil came off? "Priceless" - Utter betrayal!
My Mom was incredibly organized. I've no idea if she had a migraine - or what happened that day - maybe the label had fallen right off? rofl
In Cinncinati, chili (i like beans in there) on spaghetti, with chopped onions & shredded cheese, is a Huge thing! I made a cold version for a party Saturday and it was big hit, looked pretty too with dabs of sour cream & shredded cheese on top.
If you already ate the chili, put butter, parmesan, & pepper on the spaghetti. A squeeze of lemon if you like, too.
I have plenty of chili & noodles left...
That is a very legit way to make chili in the midwest. My mom always put macaroni in it. I tend to like mine with angel hair and sour creme.
Skyline makes great $ selling it that way:
Anything you can cover with cheese and broil for 3 minutes is going to be delicious.
I guess you have been informed! Just goes to show the best way to find out new things you like is to wing it! Let us know how you liked it. You can call it South of the Border Spaghetti! ?
I have been on some extended camping and backpacking trips and, towards the end, have had my carefully planned menu fall apart, leaving me with all sorts of bizarre combos. I pretty much remember all of them tasting good! Mother of invention, and all that!
I've eaten chili on spaghetti and rice.
I am learning I am a traditionalist.... my world - chili by itself or with chips or crackers. the rest of the world - chili on just about anything... where have I been?
I recently posted that I had Toll House cookie dough for dinner one night. A plate of chili spaghetti sounds amazing to me.
I would have traded you, yummy cookie dough
chili spaghetti is good. ask all of Cincinnati.
Yep...just another day in Cincinnati. But to be fair, Cincinnati chili doesn't resemble traditional chili that much.
@MountMadness meh, it's made with meat and sauce. I know a couple of places who specifically make sweet cincinnati chili for like fries and other for regular chili stuff. I also know people who use cinnamon and cocoa in their regular chili recipe. It's truly not as far off as you'd think when you start tasting some of the sauces and mole's of Mexico. Plus the public schools in Oklahoma and Texas back in the 70's often made it that way so they could use it for sloppy joes as well.
