• In a large pot over medium-high heat, add the milk and macaroni. Stir continuously until the milk reaches a simmer and the pasta is cooked.
• Turn off the heat, and stir in the butter, salt, pepper, Monterey Jack, and cheddar cheeses. Mix until all of the ingredients are incorporated.
• Line a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) casserole dish with parchment paper so the paper is hanging over the sides of the dish.
• Spread a third of the macaroni evenly on to the bottom of the dish and sprinkle half of the cheddar cheese over the top. Spread half of the chili over the cheese. Spread another third of macaroni over the chili, and sprinkle the remaining cup of cheddar cheese on top. Spread the rest of the chili over the cheese. Spread the rest of the macaroni over the chili.

• Remove the casserole from the dish using the parchment paper to help you pull it out. Place on a work surface.
• Insert 9 skewers into one long side of the casserole 4 inches (10 cm) deep, spacing about 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Repeat on the other long side of the casserole. Cut the casserole in half vertically, then make 8 horizontal cuts in between the skewers.

POP'S CHILLI

Steps:

• 1. Slice peppers, jalapeño, shallots and celery add garlic and oil and sauté until peppers are soft then put aside.
• 2. Brown meat and drain then add all the vegetables and tomato paste and Sauté for 2 minutes. If you love meat add 1 pound of chuck roast cut it into cubes and add to mixture when you sauté tomato paste.
• 3. Add all dry ingredients, crushed Tomato's, tomato sauce, stewed tomato's Stir well, cover and simmer on low heat for 1 hour. Check and stir often. Do not put on high heat because it will burn. I recommend using Cast Iron pot with lid. Everything tastes better in Cast Iron Serve over elbow noodles. Add 1/2 hour simmer time if chuck roast is used.
• 4. About halfway thru cook time drain beans and add to pot. For more taste and kick add 1/4 cup of chipotle hot sauce defiantly makes the sauce taste better but is optional.
