(G) 've pretty much qut Steak & Shake since they went to the "quick-serve" format and got rid of table servce.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Steak & Shake 5 Way Chilli Categories: Beef, Chilies, Beans, Herbs, Cheese Yield: 8 Servings MMMMM---------------------------CHILLI-------------------------------- 2 lb Coarse ground chuck (80/20) 1 1/2 c Onion; diced 1 ts Celery salt 32 oz Tomato sauce 1 c Water 28 oz Pinto or Chilli beans 2 ts Garlic powder 1 1/2 ts Garlic salt 2 tb + 1 ts chilli spice mix 1/2 ts (ea) salt & pepper 16 oz Tomato paste MMMMM-----------------------5-WAY ADD ONS---------------------------- 1 lb (dry weight) spaghetti 1 md Onion; diced 12 oz Co-Jack (Monterey Jack & - Colby cheese blend) 2 tb Heinz Chili Sauce Please note the onions that are cooked in the chilli are optional. You can leave them out. I personally love onions when cooked in the chilli. Steak N Shake does not add onions to cooked chilli. Chopped onions are served on top of the chilli. In a skillet on medium-low heat saute ground beef and onions. When the beef has been cooked, drain all grease and place in a medium-large saucepan. Add celery salt, tomato sauce, beans, garlic powder, garlic salt, chilli spice, pepper, water, and salt, mix all ingredients. On low heat place a lid on the saucepan and simmer for one hour, stirring frequently. After the chilli has been cooking for an hour add tomato paste and stir well. Place lid on the pan and simmer an additional half-hour. Prepare spaghetti as directed and drain. TO ASSEMBLE: For individual serving: In a shallow bowl or plate place: Generous helpings of spaghetti 3/4 cup chilli 2 tablespoon Chili Sauce, Chopped Onions (to taste) 1/2 cup Shredded Monterey Jack and Colby Cheese Mix Top with additional onions to your taste.
