You haven't been reading my posts then. I have posted of it countless times
before.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaghetti_Red

I also posted why my family used macaroni instead of spaghetti. One of the
female Italian chefs (Lidia?) spoke of this and said that per serving,
macaroni worked out to be cheaper than spaghetti. My mom only made it this
way because her mom did. But the use of spaghetti noodles is more typical.

I did not realize that what my mom was making was essentially chili because
when she actually made chili, she put beans in it. So when I hear of chili
mac, which actually is what we were eating, it sounded bad to me. Because I
presumed it was chili with beans with macaroni mixed in.
