Ever Had A Five-Way?


We have. In fact, we had one TONIGHT.

Okay, so not THAT kind of five-way, but one that will come with equal heartburn and regret in the morning. We made a five-way chili-mac for dinner.

Yes, we'll explain what that is, and thank you for asking.

There's a local greasy spoon that serves this delectable dish, and on a lark one night we decided to recreate it at home. It has since become one of our favorite last-minute meals.

Spaghetti noodles of your choice, prepared according to package directions. We typically use whole wheat, as they are a better health choice and stack up nicely against all the toppings.

Then top with your favorite chili (any kind, beans/no beans, homemade or from a can, beef or turkey, etc etc etc)

THEN, top that with:
chopped onions
shredded cheddar cheese
sour cream.

SO, you end up with spaghetti, chili, onions, cheese, and sour cream... or, in hash-slingin' chili terms, a five-way.

Eat it up!
