• 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.
• Cover the casserole dish with a piece of parchment paper. Freeze for at least 6 hours, up to 12 hours.
• 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.
• Crush the corn chips until they are a coarse sand-like texture, then pour onto a large plate. Put the flour and eggs in separate medium dishes.

• 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.

WATERMELON, CHILI AND BASIL ICE POPS

Steps:

• Bring the sugar and 1/4 cup water to a simmer in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely melted, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, add the basil and stir until completely wilted. Let cool completely at room temperature, at least 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, finely mince the chile (seeded for less heat, if desired). Add the salt to the minced chile, and run your knife through the mixture several times until the salt starts to turn light pink; set aside.
• Put the watermelon and lime juice in a blender. Strain the basil syrup into the blender, pressing the basil in the strainer with the back of a spoon to extract as much flavor as possible; discard the basil. Puree the watermelon mixture until completely smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender partway through if needed. Transfer the mixture to a large liquid measuring cup with a pouring spout.
• Pour the mixture into the ice-pop molds, leaving 1/4 inch of space at the top (the mixture will expand). Insert the sticks. Freeze until solid, 5 hours to overnight. Unmold, and sprinkle 1 or both sides of the pops with the chili salt, depending on how spicy you want your pops. Serve immediately with any remaining chili salt on the side.
