Cheeseburger Macaroni

Macaroni is always appreciated in our house. This is just another way to prepare it, and it's oh so good!


Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 lb of ground beef or turkey
  • 3 cups of uncooked elbow macaroni
  •    (prepared by the package directions)
  • 2 Tbsp of olive oil
  • 3 Tbsp of all purpose flour
  • 4 cups of milk
  • 1 tsp of salt
  • 1/2 tsp of black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 5 cups of thinly shredded Mexican blend cheese 


Directions
Heat a 10" skillet on medium high and add the cooking oil. Heat the oil until it's hot. Add the ground beef or turkey and cook for 10 minutes or until the meat is done. 





Add the flour and stir until the meat is coated with the flour. Stir in the milk,salt, and the black pepper, and cook on medium heat until the sauce thickens.  


Once the sauce has thickened, stir in 2 cups of the cheese and cook until the cheese has melted.

Once the cheese has melted, add the cooked macaroni, onions, and the remaining 3 cups of cheese. 



Cook for 5 more minutes or until the cheese has fully melted and is well blended into the sauce. Remove from the heat and serve with your favorite vegetables. Enjoy! 

Makes 6 - 8 servings.

It states 5 cups of cheese but only calls for 2 to be mixed in...is that maybe a typo?

Patti thank you! It's not a typo, the remaining cups of the cheese is to be added with the macaroni and onions. The recipe has been updated to state "the 3 remaining cups of cheese".
