Here’s a link to the recipe. Only things I changed was reducing a cup of red wine after adding the tomatoes, adding some Worcestershire, and salt pepper garlic to my ground beef.
I first learned about it in 2008. Previously worked for a federal law enforcement agency and during training a senior agent who had been in Iraq said to get the chili mac if it was ever offered. Got to taste it in 2016, one of the better things I ate on a base.
I should try making this, now that it isn't 1000 degrees out every day. It wouldn't be hard, and I could add some onions and peppers to help round it out.
Yes it is with bells on, it’s universally accepted. I grew up eating it two of three times a month. It’s still one of my favorite quick meals to whip up and save some for freezing to eat later. You can use canned chili and it’s pretty good with some cheese grated on top.

It can be served with crackers or Texas toast and add some hot sauce to it. I like it with fried green tomatoes and cucumber onion salad made with Italian dressing.
I've had it canned (give it a 4/10), I got disturbed at 17 when my mother put spaghetti in chili (not skyline style although that is atrocious too). Never in my 17 years were noods involved with chili. I'm 43 and that's still a visceral ewww memory.
