Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F. In 10-inch skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until brown; drain. Stir in chili powder. Stir in hot water and milk, sauce mix and uncooked pasta (from Hamburger Helper box). Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 14 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; uncover. Stir in 1/2 cup of the cheese. Separate dough into 8 biscuits. Press or roll each to form 5 1/2 inch round. Firmly press 1 biscuit in bottom and up side of each of 8 un-greased jumbo muffin cups, forming 1/4-inch rim. Fill with macaroni mixture; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 1 minute. Loosen edges with knife; remove from muffin cups.
CHILI CHEESE PIE
This a quick and easy favorite in our house. You will need either one large casserole dish or two small ones. The long kind (9x6, I think) will hold the whole recipe.

Tips:
- For a crispier crust, pre-bake the pasta shells for a few minutes before filling them.

- If you don't have any cooked chicken, you can use canned chicken or shredded rotisserie chicken.
- Feel free to add other ingredients to the filling, such as diced bell peppers, onions, or corn.
- For a cheesier filling, use a combination of cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese.
- Serve the pasta pies with a side of marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
