Smoky Southwest Chili Mac
My thoughts:
Food Lion hired me to visit one of their stores and create a recipe for their recipe portal around some of the ingredients I found there. I first went to site to look at the circular to plan my attack. I was able to email myself a grocery list I created which helped keep it on track. I hadn't been to a Food Lion in a while (they are a bit far from me and in hot weather I tend to shop closer to home) but I was really excited by what I found. I ended up with a ton of food I've been looking for (ground Siracha, anyone?) and the ingredients to make tonight's dinner. We've been having a busy, slightly stressful time lately so some comfort food was in order. Since it is summer, I opted to make a stove top casserole and incorporate zucchini, the one ingredient everyone needs a recipe for this time of year! I found everything I needed, even Food Lion brand Jumbo Macaroni which I had never heard of before. They even had Muir Glen organic fire-roasted tomatoes which are my favorite and a product most of the supermarkets near me do not carry.
Since I found them, I played up the smoky angle and added smoky spices. The whole dish only took me 30 minutes to make start to finish and had a nice fresh flavor thanks to the fresh zucchini, jalapeno, and onion.
