Ingredients
-
1 (12 ounce) box Velveeta shells and cheese dinner (I use Velveeta 2% variety to keep it lighter. Do not use the powdered mac and cheese)
-
3 slices bacon, diced small
-
1/2 lb lean ground beef
-
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt (or seasoning blend of your choice)
-
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (I use more but i like things garlicy )
-
pepper
-
2 tablespoons ketchup
-
2 tablespoons butter
-
3 tablespoons onions, diced
Instructions
- Cook Macaroni in boiling water according to directions on the box.
- Meanwhile, brown the hamburger, onion, and bacon in a skillet until everything is nicely browned and cooked through.
- Add the packet of cheese from the Macaroni box, seasonings, ketchup, and butter to the hamburger, and simmer over low heat, stirring often.
- When macaroni is done, drain and add to the hamburger and cheese mixture, stiring until evenly coated and heated through.
- Serve and Enjoy! You could also try adding some veggies in if you like, but I usually serve them on the side.
