  1. This was really good. Not over the top but a good quite week night recipe. Add a couple dashes tobasco to liven it up. Or add some sour cream to make it creamy, that's my prefered way. The kids loved it!!!! Thanks for posting.
     
  2. Excellent "mom food"! I have no idea why anyone would use Hamburger Helper when this dish is 100% superior in taste, just as easy to make and can't be much more expensive. I make mine with about a 1/2 teaspoon of cumin as a personal preference with my family, gives it more of a "chili-mac" taste. Other than that I don't change a thing. Always a hit for a mid-week meal or football Sunday. I serve it with cornbread. YUM!
     
  3. I use this recipe often. It reminds me of chili-mac we used to have in the service. It is extremely easy and very tasty. I add Worcestershire and use 90% or better ground beef. It seems too simple and doesn't look like it would have enough seasoning to have a good flavor, but it is worth a try because it is fabulous!

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013. After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
