Pasta Con Chili Verde

Submitted by STARTERWIFE

"I grew up in the south with a mainstay dish there called macaroni and tomatoes. I love it. Sometimes they would add fresh crisp fried bacon to the final dish. I never expected to see a likeness of this on any menu till I went to Vegas. Lo and behold said tomatoes con chili verde--oh my! They had my favorite food, done with one exception--chipotle powder and chili. I was amazed. I still prefer my old standby, but thought it interesting enough to post. Who ever knew an old poor person recipe from the south would be on the Vegas strip?"
