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.

Corned Beef & Macaroni Casserole Recipe - (4.3/5) image

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
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F WHITE SAUCE: In a small, heavy saucepan, melt 6 tablespoons of butter over low heat. Blend 6 tablespoons of flour into the melted butter. Add 3/4 teaspoon of salt. 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.

MACARONI-AND-BEEF CASSEROLE image

Categories     Beef     Pasta     Vegetable     Bake     Dinner     Casserole/Gratin

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. Meanwhile, in a large, deep skillet, heat the 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the ground beef and cumin and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until the meat is browned and any liquid has evaporated, about 8 minutes. Add the flour and cook until no floury taste remains. Stir in the tomatoes and stock and simmer until thickened, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the macaroni, cream, parsley and 1 cup of the cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to a large ceramic baking dish about 2 inches deep. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheese and panko on top. Bake for about 15 minutes, until the casserole is bubbling and the cheese is melted. Let stand for 5 minutes.

MACARONI & BEEF CASSEROLE



MACARONI & BEEF CASSEROLE image

Categories     Beef     Bake     Quick & Easy     Dinner     Healthy

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups elbow macaroni
3/4 pound lean ground beef
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped red pepper
1/8 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup chopped mushrooms
1 clove chopped garlic
1 - 16 ounce bottle marinara sauce
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
salt & pepper to taste
1/4 -1/2 package of shredded Monterey jack and cheddar cheese
1/4 cup parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Cook the macaroni until al-dente. Drain pasta and place in a greased 8 x 10 inch casserole dish. Saute the ground beef, draining any fat from the mixture. Set to one side. Saute the vegetables in 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil for 8 - 10 minutes, then add the ground beef and basil, oregano and salt and pepper. Cook for 30 minutes until vegetables are soft. Then combine the marinara mixture with the cooked macaroni in casserole dish. Add the shredded cheese to the top of the casserole. Add the parmesan cheese over the top. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes covered, and 10 minutes with the cover off. Let cool slightly before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet to brown the ground beef and onions. This will help to prevent the beef from overcrowding and steaming, which can result in tough meat.
  • Do not overcook the pasta. Cook it just until it is al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will become mushy and unpleasant in the casserole.
  • Use a combination of cheeses. This will add more flavor and depth to the casserole. A good combination is cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses.
  • Season the casserole generously. Be sure to add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. This will help to bring out the flavors of the ingredients.
  • Top the casserole with a crispy topping. This could be a breadcrumb topping, a Parmesan cheese topping, or a crushed potato chip topping. This will add texture and flavor to the casserole.

Conclusion:

Macaroni beef casserole is a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. It is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a macaroni beef casserole that is both delicious and satisfying.
