Story
|
Does every family have their own version of chili mac? Our family sort of developed this recipe from a variety of skillet meals we've eaten at different homes and, yes, cafeterias around the countryside. I believe its classic style appeals to kids and grownups alike. You can add a little bit of this or that to make it your own, but the basic recipe will satisfy even the most hungry family.
