Oh man, this recipe we have for you today is seriously one of my ALL TIME favorites that my dad makes. No lie. It could be my obsession with Macaroni and Cheese or just the shear fact I love cheese so much in general. Either way this meal has melted it’s way into my heart and on my thighs and I’m not mad a bout it at all.
Don’t let the name fool you, just let your eyes do the talking and your mouth do the watering. You have GOT to try this baby out and it’s so easy to do so! Let’s get started.
What you’ll need:
*1.5 lbs of hamburger meat
*1/2 of a red onion (chopped)
*jar of cheese whiz
*2 boxes of your favorite Mac & Cheese (we LOVE the thick and creamy cheap Great Value brand…none like it!)
*Milk (amounts per the Mac & Cheese box)
*Butter (per the Mac & Cheese box)
*garlic powder to taste
*seasoning salt to taste
Go ahead and cook your noodles like you normally would when making macaroni.
While that’s boiling, brown your meat, and toss in onions and add both seasoning salt and garlic powder.
Once meat is cooked, drain grease and set aside.
In a large bowl mix together the milk, butter, cheese powder (from the Mac & Cheese box), and cheese whiz.
Look at all that cheesy goodness right there!
Once your cheese mixture is blended well, add in macaroni noodles and your meat.
Toss that baby to mixed perfection.
We garnished ours with green onions for color…because presentation is important!
Now eat up!
I am SURE this delightful dish will become a staple in your home like it has ours!
Who’s with me?!
this is awesome! love hamburger helper, and this will definitely take the guilt out of making it. 🙂 thanks!
I could eat that night after night and green onions are one of my favorite toppings. They look great and they add flavor, too.
