Four Cheese Beef Chili Stuffing Bake Recipes

CHILI CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a large skillet over medium high heat, saute the beef and onion for 5 to 10 minutes, or until meat is browned and onion is tender; drain fat. Add the celery, chili, tomatoes, taco sauce and corn. Heat thoroughly, reduce heat to low and allow to simmer.
• Meanwhile, prepare the noodles according to package directions. When cooked, place them in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour the meat mixture over the noodles, stirring well. Top with the cheese.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 20 minutes, or until cheese is completely melted and bubbly.

STOVE TOP STUFFING CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Brown ground beef and onion in a skillet.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• In a medium bowl, mix 3 1/3 cups water and stuffing together until moist.
• In the skillet, combine corn, mushroom soup, and milk with meat until creamy. Salt and pepper to taste. Mixture should not be soupy or your stuffing will sink.
• Lightly grease pan with cooking spray. Pour meat mixture evenly into the bottom of a 10x14 baking dish.
• If stuffing is too dry or thick to spread, add just a little extra water. Spread stuffing on top of the meat mixture.
• Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until meat & soup mixture is bubbly and stuffing is browning on the top.
• Serve alone or with veggies.
• Variation: Use 3 packets of dry brown gravy mixed according to package directions instead of mushroom soup and milk for the gravy. Sometimes, I also use an extra box of stuffing to put on the bottom of the dish as a bottom crust.
