Personal Notes:
This is my dad's recipe which he started making in the 1950's. During the depression, the Mid-West states would serve chili over noodles so that it would go a lot further and fill you up more than the chili by itself. This is my families style of chili and should not be confused with chili mac which my husband Shawn always tries to call it!
