    Good
    It's kinda similar to another dish I make that uses diced tomatoes and tomato sauce instead of the stewed tomatoes. My husband called it a weird spaghetti. - 4/19/11

    Incredible!
    Just like my grandma makes. She calls it "Chili-Mac" though. One of my favorite "comfort" foods. - 12/1/09
