“Whether a cold winter night or rainy summer day, this is quick-and-easy comfort food at its very best!” And a great way to jazz up boxed macaroni mix. —Carol Wohlgemuth, Riding Mountain, Manitoba
Ingredients:
1 package (7-1/4 ounces) macaroni and cheese dinner mix
1 pound ground beef
3 tablespoons chopped onion
2 tablespoons chopped green pepper
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed tomato soup, undiluted
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 teaspoons prepared mustard
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup frozen corn, thawed
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1/4 cup 2% milk
Directions:
1. Cook macaroni according to package directions; set cheese packet aside. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the beef, onion and green pepper over medium heat until meat is no longer pink and vegetables are tender; drain.
2. Add the soup, water, ketchup, mustard and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 4 minutes.
3. Drain macaroni; add to beef mixture. Add the corn, cheese, contents of reserved cheese packet, butter and milk. Cook and stir until cheese and butter are melted. Yield: 6 servings.
