You Can Take Your Hamburger Philanthropist Hand and Shove It: Day 3 of Leftover Makeovers

I know, I skipped a day. In my defense, I came home from work, ate and passed out. I was so cranky and mean yesterday too. I forgot what getting over 5 hours of sleep was like. I feel great today.On the bright side this means that I will be posting until Saturday instead of until Friday. Lucky you.

Last night we took the Unwed Husband's very small amount of leftover amazing three cheese homemade mac and cheese and whipped up some non-preservative and sodium monitored gourmet Chili Mac. This isn't your average Hamburger Helper lazy day Chili Mac. This featured delicious homemade chili and fresh cheese that you just can't get from that bleeding heart son of a bitch smiling glove. 

This Mac and Cheese is literally food for the gods. It's rich and creamy and honestly even good lumped up and cold like this.

Pictures can not begin to describe how amazing this remake was.


Refurbished Chili Mac

2 lbs of ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 tomatoes, chopped
1 stalk of celery, chopped
4 TBS chili powder
2 TBS cumin
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 cup of water
1- 8 oz can of tomato 
1 cup of cheddar cheese
1 lb of cooked macaroni and cheese (Add in extra macaroni if needed)
1/2 C real mayo made with olive oil

Saute all veggies and set aside.
Brown ground beef and drain.
Place cooked veggies in a large pot with cooked beef.
Stir in all ingredients except for cheese and macaroni.
Allow to simmer for about an hour or two.
Add in mac and extra cheese and stir.
Stir in mayo until creamy.
At this point you can also add in extra add ins. My recommendations would be olives, a variety of beans, mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes, jalapenos and/or fresh tomatoes
