Ingredients
3 servings
- •½ lb lean ground beef
- •½ teaspoon kosher salt
- •2 tablespoons taco seasoning, divided
- •1 box Kraft® Macaroni and Cheese Blue Box Original
- •4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- •¼ cup milk
- •¾ cup Kraft® Shredded Cheddar Cheese, divided
- •1 teaspoon Cholula® Hot Sauce
- •1 small tomato, chopped
- •1 green onion, sliced on the bias
Instructions
- Bring 6 cups (1 liter) of water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in the macaroni and cook for 7–8 minutes, or until tender, stirring occasionally.
- While the macaroni is cooking, heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook for 5–6 minutes, until browned. Mix in 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning, then remove the pan from the heat.
- Drain the macaroni in a colander (do not rinse), then return to the pot over low heat. Add the butter, milk, cheese sauce mix, ¼ cup (25 G) Kraft® Shredded Cheddar Cheese, and the remaining tablespoon of taco seasoning and stir well until creamy. Remove the pot from the heat.
- Heat the broiler to high.
- Fold the ground beef into the mac and cheese, then transfer to a medium oven-safe container. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup (100 G) Kraft® Shredded Cheddar Cheese on top.
- Broil the mac and cheese for 2–4 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the oven and drizzle with the Cholula® Hot Sauce, then top with the tomato and green onion. Serve warm.
- Enjoy!
