Sure, we all loved that boxed stuff growing up, but this Cheeseburger Macaroni Skillet looks so much tastier.

Ingredients

• Seasonings:
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 1/2 cups boiling water, hot
• 2 cups skim milk
• 2 cups whole grain elbow macaroni
• 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 3 teaspoons paprika
• 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a large skillet brown ground beef over medium high heat. Once cooked, drain any fat that remains.

2. Mix together all of the seasonings in a small bowl. Add to the drained beef, stir to combine. Pour in hot water, milk, and pasta. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 10 - 12 minutes, or until pasta is cooked.

3. Stir in cheddar cheese until melted. Remove from heat, and let stand for a few minute until the sauce thickens.

4. Serve immediately.
