Nothing fancy, but a tasty dressing up for boxed macaroni and cheese. It's also versatile. When I made it, I added 1/4 teaspoon or so of Montreal Steak seasoning. I also cooked a chopped onion along with the hamburger. You can use whatever seasoning you normally use when you make burgers to spice it up. Jalapenos are good in this as well.
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
2 cups water
1/3 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 (7 1/4 ounce) package macaroni and cheese mix (powder kind)
1 cup frozen corn, thawed
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
Directions:
1. Brown ground beef and drain.
2. Add water, ketchup and mustard. Bring to a boil. Stir in the macaroni from the box (but not the cheese yet). Reduce heat, cover and simmer 4 minutes.
3. Add thawed vegetables. Simmer another 5-6 minutes covered, until macaroni is tender.
4. Reduce heat to low and add cheese powder. Stir well. Sprinkle cheddar over the top and cover for a minute or two until cheese melts.
