Recipe: Rusty Radiator

Rusty Radiator - radiatori macaroni, spiced ground beef, baked with cheese, served with barbecue sauce

A cousin of the Deeper n' Ever, which will feature at the Midwinter Feast this Saturday, Rusty Radiator is a quaint-titled dish that is simple and open to a lot of variation.

• 1 pkg. radiatori macaroni
• 1 pkg. ground beef
• cheese blend (2 parts Cheddar/1 part Monterrey Jack
• ground rosemary
• fresh ground cinnamon
• chives, chopped
• Jamaican spiced rum
• balsamic vinegar
• fresh ground black pepper
• ground chipotle pepper
• Bulls Eye A1 Steakhouse barbecue sauce

Make the macaroni - al dente!

Fry up the ground beef in a cast iron skillet, adding spices. I went with Hair o' the Cow, but you can adjust spices/flavorings to taste.

Put the macaroni in a baking dish, top with the spiced meat, cover lightly with cheese. Bake until cheese is melted.

Serve with barbecue sauce (you can cook it with it if you have a crowd that likes BBQ sauce, which I don't. I'm also not entirely clear that the A1 Steakhouse flavor is the best choice, but it's a great sauce for other purposes, and it's what was on hand. Hopefully, it won't clash too much with the spiced beef.

Looking For Group

Fairly new web comic out there - Looking For Group - by the folks who bring you the hysterical, not safe-for-work Least I Could Do, and featuring a sweet and lovable cast of characters (especially that mage. Very pleasant guy.) in a fantasy setting. Beautifully drawn, with a hilarious story line thus far. There's only 14 pages out there so far, so you can catch up quick and then wait around impatiently for the twice-weekly updates.
