MEXI GROUND BEEF CHILI MACARONI CASSEROLE



Mexi Ground Beef Chili Macaroni Casserole image

Sausage meat can be used in place of the ground beef, and any small pasta can be substituted for the macaroni. If you like more chili flavor then add in a couple tablespoons of chili powder. I have even added in some red kidney beans and sliced green olives to this casserole, but that is optional. This casserole can be completely prepared up to 24 hours in advance, cover the casserole dish tightly with plastic wrap, then refrigerate until ready to bake, increase the cooking time slightly. For taco seasoning see recipe #76616.

Provided by wandab0811

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups elbow macaroni cooked and drained
2 (12-ounce) cans corned beef
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 small onion, chopped
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cups milk
6 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 tubes of Ritz crackers, crushed
3 cups Velveeta cheese, shredded

Cook over low heat, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes. Cooking for this length of time will minimize 'flour' taste. Slowly add 3 cups of milk, stirring constantly and continue cooking slowly until smooth and thickened. Add the 3 cups of Velveeta Cheese and stir until melted and smooth. CASSEROLE: Take a 2 1/2 quart casserole dish and spray it with cooking spray then add 1/2 of the macaroni. Crumble 1 can of corned beef over macaroni and sprinkle 1/2 of the onion on top of that along with 1/8 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper.. Now make another layer of macaroni and place the 2nd can of corned beef and the rest of the onion on top as before. Sprinkle the last 1/8 teaspoon of salt and the 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Now pour the white sauce over casserole and poke holes through casserole with a knife so that the sauce permeates the casserole. Add cayenne pepper at this time if desired and top with the crumbled crackers. Place in the preheated oven for 30 minutes to complete dish.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound elbow macaroni
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for tossing
1 onion, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 pounds ground beef
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
One 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup chicken stock or low-sodium broth
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup chopped parsley
6 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (2 cups)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/3 cup panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
3 scallions, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the macaroni until al dente. Drain well and transfer the macaroni to a bowl. Add a drizzle of olive oil and toss well.
