Cheeseburger Macaroni
I got this recipe from this blog:
http://stolenmomentscooking.com/cheeseburger-macaroni/
I made it tonight for the first time, and it was SO good! Very similar to Hamburger Helper, but not with all of the artificial junk. It was really easy, too. I didn't use the onion, because someone (*coughcough* husband *coughcough*) doesn't like onions.
Cheeseburger Macaroni
* 1 lb. ground beef or turkey
* 1/2 onion, diced
* salt
* 1/4 c. flour
* 2 c. milk
* 2 c. shredded cheddar cheese*
* 2 T. ketchup
* 1 T. mustard
* 1 T. fresh parsley, minced, or 1 t. dried parsley flakes, crumbled
* salt & pepper, to taste
* 1/2 lb. cooked elbow macaroni noodles
1. Place ground meat and onions in a large skillet and season with salt, to taste. Brown meat. Do NOT drain fat.
2. Add flour, stir to incorporate, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Stir in milk, bring to a boil over medium heat, and thicken. Reduce heat to low and stir in cheese. Continue stirring until cheese is fully melted.
3. Stir in ketchup, mustard, and salt & pepper to the sauce. Add noodles and combine well. Serve and enjoy!
*Josh grated the cheddar for me the night before. I was scared the pre-shredded cheddar wouldn't melt as well, since it has anti-caking agents in it.
