Number Of Ingredients 22

1 lb spaghetti
salt
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
3 slices bacon, chopped
1 lb lean ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
3 -4 garlic cloves, chopped
fresh ground black pepper
2 teaspoons hot sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 tablespoon ground cumin
5 ounces ale beer, about 1/2 bottle
14 ounces crushed fire-roasted tomatoes
8 ounces tomato sauce
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup chicken stock
1 cup milk
2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup pickled jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
4 scallions, chopped

Steps:

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add a generous amount of salt, then the pasta and cook spaghetti until al dente according to package directions.
Heat a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and bacon. Brown and crisp bacon, about 5 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate and reserve. Drain off a little excess fat if necessary but leave just enough to coat the bottom of the skillet. Add the sirloin and crumble it with a wooden spoon as it browns, 3-4 minutes. Add the onions and garlic, and season with salt, pepper, hot sauce, Worcestershire, chili powder and cumin.
Cook for another 5-6 minutes. Add the beer, cook for 1 minute more then add tomatoes and tomato sauce. Bring up to a bubble and continue to cook for 5 minutes.
While the meat sauce is cooking, make the cheese sauce: Heat a small sauce pot over medium heat and add butter. When the butter melts, stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in the chicken stock and then the milk. Thicken for 2 minutes then stir in the cheese and melt, for another 2 minutes. Stir in the jalapenos and scallions. Season with a little salt and pepper.
Drain spaghetti, add to the meat sauce and combine.
Pour into a large serving bowl and pour the cheddar cheese sauce over the top.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

2 tablespoons EVOO
2 to 3 slices smoky bacon, finely chopped
1 1/2 pounds ground beef chuck (fattier) or sirloin (leaner)
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, eyeball it
2 tablespoons ancho chile powder or chili powder blend, a couple of palmfuls
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon smoked sweet paprika, a palmful
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano, lightly crushed in palm, about 1/2 a palmful
1 teaspoon allspice, 1/3 palmful
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, eyeball the amount in your palm
4 to 5 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 jalapeno chile peppers, seeded and finely chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
1 healthy pinch ground cloves
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cups beef stock, plus extra for reheat
One 32-ounce can fire roasted crushed or diced tomatoes
One 14-ounce can red kidney beans, drained
One 14-ounce can tomato sauce
Salt
1 1/2 pounds bucatini or spaghetti
Finley chopped raw white, red or green onions
Shredded Cheddar
Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Pickled jalapeno slices
Chopped fresh cilantro or parsley

Steps:

Heat the EVOO in a large Dutch oven or soup pot, over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and crisp. Add the beef and brown well. Add the Worcestershire, chile powder, cocoa powder, paprika, oregano, allspice, cinnamon, garlic, jalapenos, onions and cloves. Cook until the onions are tender, about 10 minutes. Add the tomato paste, stir a minute, and then add the stock, tomatoes, beans and tomato sauce. Bring to a bubble, and then reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, for 45 minutes. Cool and store for a make-ahead meal. Reheat over medium heat, stirring frequently, adding water or stock to thin if the sauce gets too thick.
To serve, while the sauce heats, bring a large pot of water to boil for the pasta. Season the boiling water with salt and add the pasta, cook to al dente. Remove 1 cup of starchy cooking water just before draining the pasta. Add the cooking water to the meat sauce, drain the pasta and return it to the hot pot. Toss the pasta with tongs, combining the starchy cooking water and about two-thirds of the sauce. Transfer the pasta to a large serving platter and top with the remaining sauce. Set up the onions, Cheddar, Parmigiano-Reggiano, pickled jalapeno and cilantro in front of the platter.
