I get the feeling that done right it could be pretty good, and done wrong it could call for a Nuremberg Trial.
What’s shocking - and liberating for some, I suppose - is you aren’t cooking, just dumping frozen and canned ingredients and baking.
I think I might try this at the next family get-together, if only for the shock value.
Often done w/macaroni.
Neighbor boy described his favorite: basically macaroni and cheese w/chopped chicken filets. This is family that considers fish sticks a dinner entree.
Chili feeds here are bland. Tabasco and macaroni are both offered as garnish/condiment.
But you know what? They are super friendly people and will always set another place at the table. We were raised to be polite, so we smile and say “Thank you!”
