Инструкции
- Preheat the oven to 375° F.
- For the Mac part:
- Drizzle oil and salt into a large pot of boiling water. Add the macaroni and cook according to the directions on the package, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain well.
- Meanwhile, heat the milk in a small saucepan, but don't boil it. Melt 6 tablespoons of butter in a large (4-quart) pot and add the flour. Cook over low heat for 2 minutes, stirring with a whisk. While whisking, add the hot milk and cook for a minute or two more, until thickened and smooth. Off the heat, add the Gruyere, Cheddar, 1 tablespoon salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and nutmeg. Add the cooked macaroni and stir well. Pour into a 3-quart buttered baking dish.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the macaroni is browned on top.
- While the Mac is baking, in a large skillet, brown beef and onion in oil over medium high heat.
- Add jalapeño peppers, garlic, chili powder, cumin, hot pepper sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Cook together 5 minutes; stir in beef broth and red wine, and reduce liquid by half, about 3 minutes. Turn the heat down to low and stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the Mac from the oven and scoop some into a serving size bowl. Add a scoop of chili on top and garnish with tomatoes, green onions and additional cheddar cheese, if desired.
