My kids are on the picky side and there are certain meals that go over better than others. Mac and cheese? Always a winner.
Here's the thing...I get so sick of mac and cheese! Sometimes I try to spice it up to make it seem like a different meal. Here's one of the ways - I turn it into Taco Mac!
Take your favorite mac and cheese recipe (I like Cook's Illustrated Mac and Cheese) then make the following additions:
1 pound cooked ground beef
1 Tbsp. taco seasoning
a few dashes of Frank's Red Hot
Bake as usual, then serve topped with salsa for the adults (or adventurous kiddos).
OMG!!!!!!!!!! I'm soooooooo making this! And I love the big honkin' rigatoni noodles too :) Adding to my "Dinners Idea" list in my phone.....
ReplyDeleteYummo. And I love Cook's Illustrated. This looks really easy and I bet my boys would eat it up!
