By fruitcake-2

Ingredients

• Prepare a sauce packet including:
• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 1/4 cups hot water
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 cup rice
• 1 cup stewed or diced canned tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon corn starch
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic poweder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded near the end, then top with another 1/2 cup cheddar
• 1 cup of Fritos

Preparation

Step 1

Brown ground beef in a large skillet; drain. Add hot water, milk, and pasta and the homemade sauce packet. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer on low about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender. In the last few minutes of cook time, stir in the cheese; cover the pot again for the final few minutes of cook time. When the pasta is tender and the cheese is melted, turn off heat and uncover. Let mixture stand, uncovered, about five minutes. It will continue to thicken as it stands.
