This is a quick last minute dinner that I like to use when my son falls asleep on me and I realize I have to eat before work instead of at work. I use just one pot my Le Creuset 5qt , and I do this because it also makes clean up as easy as the dinner is to make.
Ingredients:
1 box Kraft Macaroni and cheese
1 large yellow onion
1/2 green pepper (sometimes carrot(1))
2 stalks celery
1-2 cloves garlic
fresh ground pepper
1lb ground meat (I use turkey)
2 tblspns butter
1/4 cup milk
house cheese (cheese laying around the house, (preferably in the fridge))
Bring water to boil in 5qt pot/saucepan
add macaroni noodles
boil to al dente 7 minutes or so
Drain noodles
brown meat in same pan when browned drain grease if using beef
add all vegetables (not garlic) and beef back to pan cook for 5 minutes
add garlic continue to cook for 1 minute
add 2 tblspns butter, 1/4 cup milk, cheese packet, and house cheese until desired cheesiest level
grind fresh pepper on top and serve (i do not add any additional salt)
the only thing that takes time in this recipe is boiling the water it should be done 22 minutes after the water boils!
Enjoy!!!
