Ingredients:

Serving

1 (7 1/4 oz) package macaroni & cheese dinner mix
1 lb ground sirloin beef
1 (10 oz) can ro-tel diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:

Make up the macaroni and cheese dinner as directed on the package.
Brown ground sirloin over medium-high heat, breaking up the beef. Drain fat and add the can of tomatoes with chiles. Mix well. Lower heat to low and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add one-half of the beef mixture to the prepared macaroni and cheese. Add the remaining beef to a 2-quart baking dish, spreading evenly. Gently spoon the macaroni mixture evenly over the top. Sprinkle cheese over the top, if desired.
Bake, uncovered, until hot and bubbly, about 20-25 minutes.
Variation: Instead of layering part of the crumbled beef in the bottom of the baking dish, the entire amount may be added to the prepared macaroni and cheese. Stir to combine.
