Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey
  • 2 boxes Macaroni and Cheese (your preferred brand; boiling water, milk, and butter are usually needed)
  • 1 can Rotel (seasoned diced tomatoes)
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (usually requires water)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Mac and Cheese:
    In one pot, prepare the macaroni and cheese according to the instructions on the box.
  • Brown the Meat:
    In a separate pan, brown the ground beef (or ground turkey) and drain any excess fat.
  • Season the Meat:
    Add the taco seasoning to the browned meat (which usually requires water) and stir until well combined.
  • Add Rotel:
    Add the can of Rotel tomatoes to the seasoned meat. Stir and allow the tomatoes to warm as the taco meat simmers.
  • Combine:
    Once the macaroni and cheese is ready, add it to the seasoned meat mixture. Stir until thoroughly combined and serve warm.

Notes

  • You can add toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or green onions to enhance the flavor.
  • For extra heat, add a diced jalapeño or a few dashes of hot sauce to the meat mixture.
