CHILI MAC 'N' CHEESE BITES RECIPE BY TASTY



Chili Mac 'N' Cheese Bites Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: canola oil, medium sweet onion, ground beef, McCormick® Chili Seasoning Mix, water, unsalted butter, all purpose flour, whole milk, shredded cheddar cheese, kosher salt, macaroni, nonstick cooking spray, sour cream, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, scallions, jalapeño

Provided by McCormick

Categories     Dinner

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon canola oil
½ medium sweet onion, finely chopped
1 lb ground beef, 80/20
1 packet McCormick® Chili Seasoning Mix
¼ cup water
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 ½ cups whole milk
2 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 ½ cups macaroni, cooked
nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
1 cup sour cream
¼ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
¼ cup scallions, sliced
1 jalapeño, thinly sliced, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF (200°C) with a 12-cup nonstick muffin tin inside.
  • Make the McCormick® chili: Heat the canola oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté until the onion is translucent, 3-5 minutes.
  • Add the ground beef and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up the beef, for 5-7 minutes, until the meat is browned.
  • Drain any excess fat from the meat mixture, then add the McCormick® Chili Seasoning and water. Mix and cook for another 4-5 minutes, until the spices are well incorporated. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Make the mac 'n' cheese: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring frequently to break up any clumps, for 5 minutes, or until the roux is light golden brown. Reduce the heat to medium. Slowly pour in the milk and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 8 minutes. Do not let the mixture come to a boil.
  • Turn off the heat, then add 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese and the salt. Whisk until the cheese is melted and well incorporated. Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir with a wooden spoon until the noodles are well coated.
  • Add the chili to the mac 'n' cheese and stir until well incorporated.
  • Carefully remove the hot muffin tin from the oven and grease with nonstick spray.
  • Sprinkle a heaping tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese into each cup.
  • Fill each cup with the chili mac 'n' cheese, pressing down slightly with the back of a spoon to flatten the tops.
  • Place the muffin tin on a baking sheet, then bake for 15-20 minutes or until the sides of the mac 'n' cheese cups are bubbling. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 20 minutes to set up.
  • Using a plastic knife to avoid scratching the muffin tin, loosen around the edges of each chili mac 'n' cheese bite. Then remove from the pan. If the cups are falling apart, let cool for another 10 minutes.
  • Top the chili mac 'n' cheese bites with sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, scallions, and jalapeño slices, if desired.
  • Enjoy!

3 tomatoes, diced
15.5 oz red kidney bean, 1 can
4.5 oz green chile, 1 can
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons cumin
½ teaspoon pepper

1 tablespoon paprika
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 lime lime, juiced
5 cups whole milk
1 lb elbow macaroni
½ cup unsalted butter, 1 stick
1 teaspoon salt

1 cup grated cheddar cheese
9 oz corn tortilla, 1 bag
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 large eggs, beaten
oil, for frying
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped, for serving
18 bamboo skewers, thick

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, until shimmering. Add the onion and cook until caramelized, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the green bell pepper and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the ground beef, break apart, and cook until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the tomato, kidney beans, green chiles, tomato paste, cumin, pepper, salt, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and lime juice. Mix thoroughly and let simmer for about 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside until ready to use.
  • In a large pot over medium-high heat, add the milk and macaroni. Stir continuously until the milk reaches a simmer and the pasta is cooked.
  • Turn off the heat, and stir in the butter, salt, pepper, Monterey Jack, and cheddar cheeses. Mix until all of the ingredients are incorporated.
  • Line a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) casserole dish with parchment paper so the paper is hanging over the sides of the dish.
  • Spread a third of the macaroni evenly on to the bottom of the dish and sprinkle half of the cheddar cheese over the top. Spread half of the chili over the cheese. Spread another third of macaroni over the chili, and sprinkle the remaining cup of cheddar cheese on top. Spread the rest of the chili over the cheese. Spread the rest of the macaroni over the chili.
  • Cover the casserole dish with a piece of parchment paper. Freeze for at least 6 hours, up to 12 hours.
  • Remove the casserole from the dish using the parchment paper to help you pull it out. Place on a work surface.
  • Insert 9 skewers into one long side of the casserole 4 inches (10 cm) deep, spacing about 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Repeat on the other long side of the casserole. Cut the casserole in half vertically, then make 8 horizontal cuts in between the skewers.
  • Crush the corn chips until they are a coarse sand-like texture, then pour onto a large plate. Put the flour and eggs in separate medium dishes.
  • Place one of the pops in the flour, turning to coat on all sides, and tap off the excess flour. Place the pop in the egg and coat until there is no exposed flour. Place the pop in the crushed corn chips and coat. Repeat with the remaining pops.
  • Heat the oil in a large pot until the temperature reaches 325˚F (165˚C).
  • Fry the skewers 2 at a time for 8 minutes, until browned and crisp.
  • Transfer to a wire rack or paper towels to drain.
  • Sprinkle with cilantro and serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!

CHILI CHEESE GRILLED CHEESE BITES



Chili Cheese Grilled Cheese Bites image

The classic chili cheese flavors are getting the grilled cheese treatment! We make a quick, spreadable chili, then we encompass it with several layers of cheese. The secret is cooking the bread on melted Cheddar to add an outer, cheesy crunch that seals off the inside.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 16 bites

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 ounces 80/20 ground beef
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Kosher salt
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons tomato paste (3 ounces)
Twelve 1/2-inch slices brioche (about 10 ounces)
1/4 cup cream cheese (2 ounces)
8 ounces shredded sharp yellow Cheddar (about 2 cups)

Steps:

  • Preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place the beef in a thin, single layer and cook, undisturbed, until the bottom begins to brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the seasoning. Mix the garlic powder, cayenne, cinnamon, cumin, mustard powder, onion powder and paprika and 2 teaspoons salt in a small bowl. Check to make sure the bottom of the beef is a brown color, add the seasoning, then stir to combine and cook for 4 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook until the mixture is brick red, about 1 minute. Stir in 3 ounces of water, then remove from the heat.
  • Preheat a large nonstick pan or griddle over medium heat.
  • Place 4 of the bread slices on a work surface. On each slice, spread 1 tablespoon (0.5 ounce) of cream cheese, then top with 1 heaping tablespoon of Cheddar and set aside.
  • Spread 2 heaping tablespoons of the chili on 4 more of the bread slices.
  • Place 2 heaping tablespoons of Cheddar on the top left corner of the pan, spreading it out so it resembles the shape of a brioche slice as much as possible. Repeat three more times to create 4 squares or rectangles.
  • Place each cheese-topped bread slice, cheese-side up, on top of a square of melting Cheddar. Top each with a chili-topped bread slice, chili-side up. Cook until the cheese starts to turn dark, golden yellow around the edges and is slightly crispy, about 5 minutes. Transfer the sandwiches to a plate.
  • Place 2 heaping tablespoons of Cheddar on the top left corner of the pan, spreading it out so it resembles the shape of a brioche slice as much as possible. Repeat three more times to create 4 squares or rectangles.
  • Place each of the 4 remaining bread slices on top of a square of melting Cheddar. Top with the sandwiches, chili-side down. Cook until the bottoms are crunchy and golden, about 5 minutes more. Transfer to a cutting board. Cut each sandwich into 4 squares and serve immediately.
