Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (7 1/4 ounce) boxes kraft macaroni & cheese dinner mix, not prepared
1 lb lean ground beef
1 onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained (I like the petit cut)
1 tablespoon mild chili powder (optional)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese, to garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Cook macaroni in boiling salted water until tender; drain.
  • Mix cooked macaroni with butter, stirring well.
  • While macaroni is cooking, cook ground beef, garlic and onion in a large skillet until beef is browned and cooked through.
  • Drain any accumulated fat.
  • Add chili powder, salt, pepper, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes (with their juice), mixing well.
  • Bring meat mixture to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until macaroni is done.
  • Mix meat mixture with cooked buttered macaroni (do NOT add any additional milk as package suggests).
  • Sprinkle contents of cheese packets into pasta and stir until blended.
  • Serve garnished with grated cheddar, if desired.
