Courtsey of Semi Homemade Mom
I'm sorry I've been slacking so much on posting these recipes as we make them! But school is really kicking my butt since it's the end of the semester.
Anyway, a couple of nights ago I introduced Shannon to Taco Mac. Once we dove into the cheesy goodness, it was a moment where we asked ourselve "why haven't we thought of this?" The recipe is very simple and very tasty so I won't keep you waiting any longer!
Ingredients:
- 1lb ground beef or turkey *we used turkey*
- 1 box of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese
- 1 packet of taco seasoning
- 2/3 cup of water
- 2 Tbsp butter or margarine
- 1/3 cup of milk
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1/3 cup sour cream
*Changed from original recipe--we omitted 2 Tbsp of butter because it doesn't need it, and we omitted the salsa because we didn't have any on hand, but it was still good!*
Instructions:
Make boxed mac & cheese using butter, milk and sour cream, set aside. Brown ground meat in a skillet, drain access fat, and add the taco seasoning and 2/3 cup of water. Heat to boiling reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes until most of water mixture is aborbed. In a small sprayed oven dish, layer half the macaroni mixture on the bottom. Top with half the meat mixture and 1/2 cup shredded cheese. Repeat the layer. Put the dish in an oven preheated to 250 degrees and warm until cheese on top is melted, about 5-8 minutes.
Nutritional information:
This is definitely not the healthiest dish, but we have to indulge and take shortcuts sometimes!
