Betty's Chili Mac 'N Cheese Skillet Casserole Recipe

[Knoxlette]

I made this tonight and it was really good. It was quick, economical, and hearty. I added some extra pasta per my family's preference then popped it into a casserole dish in the warmer to help tighten it up a bit more. The kids loved it and it made a ton so I have left overs (bonus!). Thanks so very much for passing this recipe on!

Dear Betty, I would love to try this recipe. The food you make looks really delicious. Thanks for sharing this recipe. By the way, can you make a recipe from your grandmother? Please answer comment. - Jason from Malaysia

@Louise4251 Hi Jason, Thanks for your comment on the Mac 'n Cheese Skillet Casserole. I don't think I have any recipes from my grandmother; she was a great cook, just didn't write instructions down.

[cedward1984]

this recipe is wonderful. thank you so much. i am a subscriber and fan of your videos, i asked you before if you ever considered auditioning for "The Next Food Network Star". but anyway, i love Hamburger Helper lol. one of my favorites is the chili macaroni kind, which is very heavy. with this recipe of yours however i can cut the fat by half by using hot dog chili with zero fat, yet when i cook it it tastes just as good as that horrible boxed dinner ive loved so much. thank you so much betty

[bettyskitchen]

@cedward1984 Thanks for your great feedback! I appreciate it so much! Yes, the way you make this dish is much better for you than Hamburger Helper.

[bettyskitchen]

@danaCrest Thanks!

[MonkeyManBlues]

The cheese sauce was an interresting idea. I've always done the chili fresh made and combined the macaroni with it. I'm going to try the cheese sauce next time. Thanks for the post.

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your nice comment! I hope you enjoy the recipe!

--Betty :)

[hockey87rules]

[bettyskitchen]

That sounds great! Thanks for your lovely comment!

--Betty :)

[Ragrog105]

Now this is the food of the gods! Another favorite. Thank you.

[bettyskitchen]

It is the kind of casserole that I get a lot of requests for! I hope you enjoy the recipe! Thanks for commenting!

[stonevrscx]

send me plate

[bettyskitchen]

Wish I could!

I'm really just getting into Macaroni and Cheese a strange as that sounds. I've never liked the boxed variety even as a kid. I made homemade Mac N Cheese recently for my husband and son, and found out that i do like it! I live in Florida and it has been unusually cold here, and I was thinking of making a big pot of chili, but instead I'm going to make this. Looks delicious, I can't wait to try it! Thank You for another great recipe Betty =]

[bettyskitchen]

I hope you like the Chili Mac 'N Cheese. I also have 3 other macaroni and cheese recipes in bettyskitchen, if you want something a little different! Thanks for your comment!

--Betty :)

[b11v51q68y]

Awesome dish! Unfortunately I don't have canned chili anywhere around where I live. Any substitute? But I bet that mac and cheese would already taste good without the chili sauce!

[bettyskitchen]

It would be fine without the chili sauce. Also, if you should make chili, you could use the leftovers for this recipe! I have some *great* chili in bettyskitchen! Thanks for your lovely comment!

--Betty :)

[WaltDisneySG]

I saw this same box and brand which has different macoroni ... so Nice

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your nice comment!

--Betty :)

[firefighter1811]

that would be so good over french fries! you are a great cook.

[bettyskitchen]

You have good ideas! That would be a great combination! Thanks for your sweet comment!

--Betty :)

[colletttonia]

I would add a little ground chuck yummy

[bettyskitchen]

Some ground chuck would be great! I'm glad you can see ways to personalize your own recipes! Thanks for your nice comment!

--Betty :)

[sarahcherry1]

Hi do you have a recipe for cheese skillet and home fries (like they make in friendlys restaurant) I'm from the UK and love to eat that each time I go to the US but would really like to give it a go at home!! Thanks!!

[bettyskitchen]

Hi!

I'm not familiar with "cheese skillet and home fries" or with Friendly's Restaurant. Our restaurants around here do serve "cheese fries." That might be similar. They are very good!

--Betty :)

[sarahcherry1]

Oh never mind, I am desperate to try it at home, but thank you for the reply! I will keep checking out your videos!

[bettyskitchen]

I will see if I can find a recipe for cheese fries--I hope that is similar to your cheese skillet and home fries!

--Betty :)

[sarahcherry1]

Thanks. x

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your question, and I hope the answer given was helpful!

--Betty :)

[colletttonia]

use this sauce it should work pour it over your fries.

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for passing the info along! Have a great day!

--Betty :)

[kokonutbaby1]

That would be great also poured over a bowl of fritos, too, I bet, along w/a little bit of salsa..mmmm!

[bettyskitchen]

Mmmm...I agree! That would perk up the flavor!  Thanks for a great idea!

--Betty :)

[just1769126]

Brilliant. :) I didn't know what kind or recipe I was looking for until I watched this.. It's so simple, but something different! I will be making this this week. What do you recommend serving with it? I'm sure a salad would be great, but do you have any other ideas? Thank you, Betty!

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks! And thanks for planning to try it! To be honest, a green salad and some French bread would round out the perfect meal.  If you are just really bummed out on salads, try a green vegetable that you like..maybe green peas, asparagus, green beans, or a (made from frozen) vegetable medley--with broccoli, carrots, water chestnuts, etc. Use individual servings of olive oil to dip the heated French bread in. Good luck with your meal!

--Betty :)

[just1769126]

Thanks for the suggestions! I am kind of burned out on side salads, and funny as it sounds, when watching this I never even thought of other veggies! :) I think I will make it with some brocolli (which I love with pasta) and the french bread with some toasted garlic and olive oil! Thank you!

[bettyskitchen]

Broccoli sounds like a wonderful side for this--you're making *me* hungry!!!

--Betty :)

[acreasy1]

Another great (and super easy) recipe, Betty. I really appreciate the ease and deliciousness of this dish. Perfect for weeknights...and about a hundred times better than a boxed hamburger skillet. Thank you very much for posting.

[bettyskitchen]

You are quite welcome! It's about as easy as recipes come!--but it makes a hearty meal that one would think took some time and effort! Thanks for your kind comment!

--Betty :)

[rmac45]

I needed this video two days ago Betty! I guess now I`ll just half to upload my visit to...WENDYS!!! I try to fix it next weekend! Unless you come out with something easier before then.

Your Old Memphis Boy,

Robert

[bettyskitchen]

Robert,

I *really* don't think it can get any easier than chili mac 'n cheese! (If you don't want to make the cheese sauce, you can prepare a box of Kraft macaroni and cheese, and then add a can of chili to it--not quite as good!)

--Betty :)

[sandoga]

invite me to dinner sometime? ^_^

[bettyskitchen]

You would probably find that I have a lot of leftovers! (Just kidding--I would make something special.) Thanks for your support!

--Betty :)
