Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef or ground turkey (sometimes I use only 1/2 lb)
- 1/2 cup onions, diced
- 1 tablespoon butter, optional
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup cold water
- 2 cups elbow macaroni, uncooked
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt or seasoning salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon oregano
- 3/4 teaspoon parsley
- 3/4 garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
Preparation
Step 1
Instructions
Brown ground meat in a skillet over medium heat until almost done.
Add in onions and cook until tender.
Drain meat & onions on paper towels and return to skillet.
Add remaining ingredients except for the cheese.
Stir to combine.
Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat, cover and cook until pasta is tender, about 10 minutes. Stirring occasionally.
* Do not over cook pasta. I usually taste check it at 9 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in cheese. Sauce may be thin.
Let pasta sit to thicken the sauce, meanwhile adjust seasonings if needed.
Serve and enjoy.
NOTES:
~TIPS~
Use various cheeses if desired.
Add taco seasonings for a chili-mac.
Chopped tomatoes are good in this as well.
Want veggies? Peas or broccoli works great !
Hot sauce anyone?
