I couldn't help but post this recipe. It really does taste like a cheeseburger! My mom made this once for my brothers and I when we were little. I remember loving the flavor of it. Just the other day out of nowhere I was craving this dish. I did an internet search and found it , which is basically a recipe site that has recipes found on the back of boxes. This is a Kraft recipe and the blending of these basic ingredients makes the most delicious macaroni and cheese. I like it because it's hearty and includes beef. The velveeta makes it incredibly creamy and the ketchup adds a hint of sweetness. I prefer to use the big macaroni but any size will do. Mmmmmmm so good! I like to serve steamed veggies on the side. Ingredients:
1 lb lean ground beef |
1 tablespoon dried onion flakes (optional) |
3 1/4 cups water |
3/4 cup ketchup |
2 teaspoons prepared yellow mustard |
12 ounces macaroni |
1 lb velveeta reduced fat cheese product, cubed |
Directions:
1. Brown ground beef and onion in large skillet; drain well.
2. Whisk together water, ketchup, and mustard in a bowl. Pour over meat and bring to a boil.
3. Add macaroni and turn heat to medium low.
4. Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes or until macaroni is cooked and almost all of the liquid is absorbed.
5. Stir in cubed Velveeta cheese until melted and distributed evenly.
