Ingredients

1 pound Ground Beef (93% lean or leaner)
1-3/4 cups water
1 cup dry elbow macaroni
6 ounces processed cheese spread, cut into cubes
8 to 10 dill pickle slices (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add Ground Beef; cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking into 3/4-inch crumbles and stirring occasionally.

Cooking Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed ground beef. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.
Step 2

Stir in water and macaroni; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 9 to 11 minutes or until macaroni is tender.
Step 3

Stir in cheese cubes. Cook 1 to 2 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally.
Step 4

Season with salt and pepper, as desired. Serve beef mixture topped with pickle slices, if desired.

This recipe is DELICIOUS and SO VERY EASY! I add lawry’s or Tony’s for a little extra flavor and sometimes I add mushrooms and onions… also easy to switch up and make a “Mexi” version of it by using queso blanco velveeta, rotel and mexican seasonings.
