• Meanwhile, make the seasoning. Mix the garlic powder, cayenne, cinnamon, cumin, mustard powder, onion powder and paprika and 2 teaspoons salt in a small bowl. Check to make sure the bottom of the beef is a brown color, add the seasoning, then stir to combine and cook for 4 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook until the mixture is brick red, about 1 minute. Stir in 3 ounces of water, then remove from the heat.

• Place 4 of the bread slices on a work surface. On each slice, spread 1 tablespoon (0.5 ounce) of cream cheese, then top with 1 heaping tablespoon of Cheddar and set aside.
• Spread 2 heaping tablespoons of the chili on 4 more of the bread slices.
• Place 2 heaping tablespoons of Cheddar on the top left corner of the pan, spreading it out so it resembles the shape of a brioche slice as much as possible. Repeat three more times to create 4 squares or rectangles.
• Place each cheese-topped bread slice, cheese-side up, on top of a square of melting Cheddar. Top each with a chili-topped bread slice, chili-side up. Cook until the cheese starts to turn dark, golden yellow around the edges and is slightly crispy, about 5 minutes. Transfer the sandwiches to a plate.

SPICY CHEESE BITES

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.

CHILI MAC 'N' CHEESE BITES RECIPE BY TASTY

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.
