K D Chili Macaroni and Cheese Con Chipotle

"In Canada we call Kraft Macaroni and Cheese 'Kraft Dinner' (KD). I believe we are the per capita top consumers of this stuff. With two growing boys at home we are making a lot of this again - they love it. Here's how I eat mine. Not a fancy recipe but makes eating with the kids tastier."

  1. This was absolutely delicious! I used chef #264181's recipe #198940 for the chili (which is fantastic, by the way!) and stole the KD from my parrot, Merlin. That's not an easy task! But, very worth it - it was so good, I'm going to freeze some of the chili in baggies sized just for this recipe! Thanks for posting, SpicyDoc! Made for PAC Fall 2009.
     
  2. This was very easy to make and it reminded us of eating goulash. I only used 1/2 tablespoon of the Tabasco on mine and it was plenty hot for me; others used 1 tablespoon and thought it was just right. I used recipe #27947 for my chili, fat-free shredded cheddar, no onion, and made the KD using skim milk and Smart Balance Light.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in a town about 1 hr outside of Toronto. I have 2 toddler sons and a wife (who is past toddling) at home. I like to cook, my wife doesn't so I have a free rein in the kitchen. Cooking is probably my main hobby, except in Summer, when golf dominates. I LOVE spicy foods but DW doesn't, so I either cook separate dishes or make something I can spice up on my own plate. my current favorite cookbook is 'Some Like It Hot' by Clifford A. Wright--my first posting is from this book. My pet peeve is when someone turns up their nose at a new dish before actually trying it--she is getting better tho :) Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the words YUM or YUMMY make my skin crawl.
