My husband is disabled and requires constant care. This doesn't leave me a lot of time to cook, so I came up with this tasty way to beef up a box of macaroni and cheese. The hearty mixture gets extra flavor from corn, ripe olives and zippy salsa. -Charlotte Kremer, Pahrump, Nevada Ingredients:
1 package (7-1/4 ounces) macaroni and cheese |
1 pound ground turkey or beef |
1/4 cup chopped onion |
1-1/2 cups salsa |
1/2 cup fresh or frozen corn |
1 can (2-1/4 ounces) sliced ripe olives, drained |
3 tablespoons diced pimientos |
shredded cheddar cheese |
chopped tomato |
Directions:
1. Set aside cheese sauce mix from macaroni and cheese; cook macaroni according to package directions.
2. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add the salsa, corn, olives and pimientos; cook until heated through.
3. Drain macaroni; add to beef mixture with contents of cheese sauce mix. Cook and stir until blended and heated through. Sprinkle with cheese and tomato. Yield: 4-6 servings.
