Made this tonight! Used a family size Kraft Mac & Cheese according to directions, 2 lbs of ground beef, 1 packet of taco seasoning and didn’t have salsa, so used a can of Rotel instead. Added a bit more water when all was mixed together but it is yummy ??
I used only 1 box kraft macaroni and cheese and Instead of using the butter and milk I added 2 thin slices of velveeta.
I made this tonight for my family, and they loved it! I made the Kraft Dinner as directed on the box, then added the taco beef (browned and taco seasoning added as directed - however, I only used half), and salsa. What I did differently was I baked it all up with some shredded cheese. on top :) YUMMM! This is so much better than Taco Hamburger Helper! Will make this again!
Like Charlotte J, I was also a little confused on the directions. I followed what she did and omitted the additional milk/butter from the directions on the box. I cooked the macaroni, added the 1 T butter, 2 T milk, and cheese sauce packets to meat mixture, and then added the plain macaroni to the meat mixture to heat through. This worked very well!<br/><br/>I used Penzey's spice blends for the taco seasoning (2 T. Bold Taco mix 1 T. Arizona Dreaming). For the salsa, I used Black Bean and Corn salsa. I also added some additional frozen corn. Next time I will probably add a can of black beans too. At the end, I poured everything into a greased baking dish, topped with shredded cheddar cheese, and baked in a 350 degree oven until the cheese melted. <br/><br/>Quick, easy, and a tasty dish that can be made with some of my home's staples! Thanks for sharing!
