Chili Cheese Grilled Cheese Bites Recipes

Steps:

• Sift the flour and a little salt into a bowl. Set a non-stick pan on the heat with 150ml cold water and the chopped butter. Bring to the boil, stirring until the butter melts. Tip in all the flour and, using a wooden spoon, beat hard until the mix becomes smooth and starts to leave the side of the pan.
• Remove from the heat, beat in the gruyère and half the parmesan and cool for 5 mins. Gradually beat in the eggs until you have a smooth, thick, but spoonable mix - you may not need all the egg. Can be set aside now for 2 hrs without chilling.
• When ready to serve, heat the oil in a deep-fat frying pan to around 180C. Using 2 teaspoons scoop up neat dollops and carefully drop into the hot oil. Fry 6-8 dollops a time for 3-4 mins until golden and crisp - dunk the dollops under to brown evenly. Reheat the oil as necessary. Drain on paper towels, sprinkle with the rest of the parmesan. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F; line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
• On a floured surface, carefully roll out the sheet of pastry into a 10-by-12-inch rectangle. Dock the pastry all over with the tines of a fork and then brush it with the melted butter. Sprinkle over the manchego and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan. Using the rolling pin, press the cheese into the pastry. Cut the pastry into rounds using a 1 1/2-inch round pastry cutter. Gently press 1 slice of jalapeno into the middle of each round. Transfer to the prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle over the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan.
• Bake until golden brown and puffed, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool before serving.

Steps:

• CUT cheese slices diagonally in half. Toss chicken with sauce. Top crackers with cheese and chicken mixture; place 6 on microwaveable plate.
• MICROWAVE on HIGH 10 to 15 sec. or until cheese begins to melt. Repeat with remaining topped crackers.
• DRIZZLE with dressing. Serve warm.
• Special Extra: If your guests like their Buffalo chicken "inferno style," top each appetizer with an extra dash of hot pepper sauce before serving.

Steps:

• Position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven, and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line 2 or 3 mini-muffin pans with liners, and coat the liners generously with cooking spray.
• Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Drain the macaroni and rinse under cold water until cool. Drain again and shake off any excess water.
• Put the heavy cream, cream cheese, eggs, mustard, paprika and garlic in a large bowl. Beat on low speed with an electric mixer until combined (the mixture may have small lumps). Add the macaroni, Cheddar and Monterey jack, and stir until combined.
• Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of the mac 'n' cheese into the prepared muffin liners. Combine the breadcrumbs and butter with your fingers in a small bowl until the mixture is the texture of wet sand. Sprinkle the top of each mac 'n' cheese mound with the buttered breadcrumbs.
• Bake until the cheese is melted and the bites are golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool for at least 5 minutes before serving hot or at room temperature. Serve with hot sauce on the side, if desired.

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!
