An easy to fix meal using your left over macaroni and cheese made into something new. It is a huge family favorite at my house! I made this up one day trying to figure out something for dinner and all I had was leftover macaroni and cheese and just threw some things together into a fantastic meal. Ingredients:
1 -2 cup tortilla chips (broken into small pieces) |
1 lb hamburger |
1 (1 1/2 ounce) package taco seasoning mix (any flavor) |
1 (10 ounce) can tomatoes and green chilies (i use mild but spicier can be used) or 1/2 cup salsa, any flavor |
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded |
1/4 cup olive, diced (saving some out for later) |
1/2 cup sour cream or 1/2 cup salsa or 1/2 cup tomatoes or 1/2 cup lettuce |
Directions:
1. Break up the tortilla chips until you have between 1-2 cups depending on how much crunch you want in your meal.
2. Cook the hamburger and drain the fat; make the taco meat according to the package directions.
3. In a bowl, mix the leftover macaroni and cheese, taco meat, tomatoes or salsa, and the olives (set aside some olives for the top). Set aside.
4. Spray a large baking dish (8x13 rectangle) with cooking spray and layer the broken tortilla chips on the bottom;.
5. top with the macaroni mixture;.
6. top with shredded cheese and olives.
7. bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until cheese is browned and bubbly.
8. Top with sour cream, tomatoes, salsa, or lettuce as desired after meal is cooked.
