Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
1 lg onion,chopped
1 package taco seasoning
4-8 oz water
1 tin ( any size) kidney beans,drained and rinsed with cold water
1 cup frozen corn kernels
1 sweet red pepper, chopped (optnl)
1 4 oz tin chopped green chillies (optnl)
1 box mac 'n cheese ( white cheddar or regular)
(or cook about 2cup of your own macaroni and add cheese sauce)
1 cup (or more) salsa ( or 1 tin rotel tomato and chillies)
1-2 cups tex-mex cheese blend
sliced jalapeno peppers (optnl)
sliced olives (optnl)

Directions:

Prepare Mac' n Cheese according to package directions
Meanwhile in large frying pan, over medium high heat, brown ground beef with onion, draining fat as you go.
Add taco seasoning and incorporate well before adding enough water to just make it saucy.
Turn heat down to medium and add kidney beans, corn,and pepper and chillies if using. Stir well to combine, and simmer for a few minutes.
Preheat oven to 350F
Place beef mixture in large casserole dish and top with mac 'n cheese.
Spoon salsa over noodles and top with grated cheese blend.
Top with sliced jalapenos and olives,if desired
Bake at 350F for 30 min until heated through and cheese is bubbly and golden.
*I buy taco seasoning in a large tub at Costco and just use 2-3 heaping spoonfuls instead of a package of seasoning
