Provided by carvalhohm

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 pound lean (at least 80%) ground beef
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 cup hot water
1 1/2 cups milk
1 box Hamburger Helper cheeseburger macaroni
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (4-ounces)
1 (16.3-ounce) can Pillsbury Grands refrigerated buttermilk biscuits

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.

Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (8 1/2 ounce) box Jiffy cornbread mix
1 egg
3 teaspoons sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 (15 ounce) can prepared chili (any brand is fine. I use the WalMart brand)
2 cups shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup mild salsa
1 large onion, minced
1 green bell pepper, diced small
1 can chickpeas, drained
2 slices butter (3 if you have to use two casserole dishes)

Steps:

  • Mix egg, sugar, milk and cornbread mix.
  • The box may call for less milk but a half cup makes the batter loose enough for this recipe.
  • Butter your casserole dish and pour in batter. Set it aside.
  • Mix onion, bell peppers, chickpeas, salsa, chili and half the cheese and spoon on top of the corn bread batter.
  • Top with the rest of the cheese.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until the cheese is browning and bubbling.

Tips:

  • For a crispier crust, pre-bake the pasta shells for a few minutes before filling them.
  • To make the filling creamier, use a combination of cream cheese and sour cream.
  • 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.

Conclusion:

These chili cheese mini pasta pies are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They're perfect for a party or a weeknight dinner. With a crispy pasta shell, a creamy and cheesy filling, and a hint of spice, these pies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
