In this video, Betty demonstrates her "last minute meal" Chili Mac 'n Cheese Skillet Casserole recipe. It is super easy and can be made in less than 10 minutes--plus, it tastes great!

Ingredients:

1 cup uncooked elbow macaroni
1/2 medium-sized pot of rapidly boiling water
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter, melted
2 tablespoons flour
3/4 cup shredded (or cubed) Velveeta cheese
3/4 cup milk
(2) 15 oz. to 16 oz. cans chili with beans (You may use chili without beans.)

Place 1/2 teaspoon salt in rapidly boiling water. Add 1 cup elbow macaroni. Cook for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. While the macaroni is cooking, prepare the other ingredients of your Chili Mac 'N Cheese Skillet. In a medium pot, heat 2 cans of chili with beans over low heat. make your cheese sauce: Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet. Remove from heat and add 2 tablespoons flour. Stir until combined. Add 3/4 cup milk and 3/4 cup shredded Velveeta cheese. Stir, and then move the skillet of cheese sauce back to the stove and cook, stirring constantly, until smooth and bubbly. Drain your macaroni through a colander into the sink, and return it to its own pot, so you can bring it to the stove and add it to your cooked cheese sauce. Now, add your 2 heated cans of chili. Stir, and your Chili Mac 'N Cheese is done! Serve hot from the skillet, or pour into a casserole dish for serving at the table! Kids *love* this!!!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • @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.

    --Betty :)

  • 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!

  • @toychaser2005 I hope making you hungry is not a bad thing;  you can look away!
