Here's a simple weeknight recipe I threw together the other night when we were in the mood for tacos but something different. Keep in mind this recipe will feed 3 to 4 people tops. Just double the ingredients for a bigger family.
-1 box Kraft macaroni & cheese
(or homemade)
-1/3 cup milk
-1 teaspoon butter
-1/4 cup salsa
-1/2 lb ground beef
-1/2 packet taco seasoning
-1/4 cup water
-Tortilla chips or crushed taco shells
-1/2 cup Mexican cheese
Directions:
Boil macaroni noodles until tender. In a medium skillet brown ground beef, add taco seasoning and water. Mix well and let simmer. Drain pasta, add milk, butter, cheese and salsa. Salt and pepper to taste. Mix well. Pour macaroni into pan, layer on taco meat, chips or crushed taco shells and cheese. Bake for 10 minutes and enjoy! (I used a loaf pan, any smaller sized pan will work for this amount) You can top with more salsa, sour cream, or leave out the chips/shells and serve over tortilla chips and lettuce.
Enjoy!
