Posta Negra Cartagenera / Beef in black stew is a fantastic dish from the city of Cartagena in Colombia.

Kosher salt
1 pound elbow macaroni
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken

2 1/2 cups half-and-half
1 pound yellow sharp cheddar cheese, cut into 1-
inch cubes (about 3 1/2 cups)
8 ounces pepper jack cheese, shredded (about 2
cups)- Sometimes I sub Monterrey Jack
2/3 cup sour cream
1 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

-Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and butter a 9-by-13- inch baking dish. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; add the pasta and cook until al dente, about 7 minutes. Drain.
-Meanwhile, melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and celery and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chicken and garlic and cook 2 minutes, then add 1/2 cup hot sauce and simmer until slightly thickened, about 1 more minute.

3 Tablespoons of dry Ranch dressing (the envelope)
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 cup canola oil
Container with sealable lid.
Place crackers in the sealable container. In a separate bowl, whisk together canola oil, ranch seasoning, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder. Drizzle mixture over crackers. Seal container and turn over and over until all crackers are coated. Crackers are much better if they are allowed to set for a day; this allows the crackers to absorb all of the oil and flavoring.
