    1/4 cup mayonnaise
    2 tablespoons diced celery
    1 tablespoon chopped carrot
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon pepper
    1 large potato, baked and cubed
    1 tablespoon butter
    2 hamburger patties
    2 slices cheese
    mustard
    horseradish
    ketchup
    hot chili sauce (OR SPECIAL SAUCE)
    3 slices Italian bread
    chopped onion (optional)
    refried beans (optional)
    SPECIAL SAUCE
    1 medium onion, chopped
    1 garlic clove, minced
    1 tablespoon oil
    1 lb ground beef
    1 cup water
    12 ounces tomato paste
    1/2 tablespoon brown sugar
    1 teaspoon ground black pepper
    3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    1 teaspoon chili powder
    1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
    1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
    1/2 teaspoon allspice
    1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon powdered clove
Preparation
    TO MAKE SPECIAL SAUCE:
    In large skillet fry chopped onion and garlic in oil until soft. Add meat, stirring constantly with fork to keep its texture fine.
    Once meat is cooked add water and tomato paste, cook for 10 minutes.
    Then add sugar and spices. Cook 30 minutes, adding water if needed.
    ASSEMBLY:
    Mix together the noodles, mayo, celery, seasoning, and carrots and place into a large square foam container (or plate, but not as authentic).
    Fry potatoes in butter until very crispy then put next to mac salad on plate.
    Place OPTIONAL beans of plate if needed.
    Cook hamburger until well done and top with sliced cheese.
    Then place burgers ON TOP of the mac salad and home fries.
    Mix together about equal parts mustard and horseradish and pour on top of burgers and top with optional onions.
    Pour hot sauce or VERY LARGE spoonfuls of special sauce and a HUGE glob of ketchup over burgers (some like to stir everything together so its one huge mess).
    Eat with plastic fork, or just use the bread as a spoon and try not to pass out. This should take about an hour to finish.
    YUM, every drunk college kids dream food.
