I'M BROKE MAC AND CHEESE



I'm Broke Mac and Cheese image

I came up with this at my friend's house in an attempt to feed 6 kids with what he had in the cabinet. They loved it, and there was enough to feed the adults too. The meat that I used was wild pig, but I think that any would do.

WE'RE BROKE MAC AND CHEESE



We're Broke Mac and Cheese image

This is what we threw together for dinner one night when we had no money to shop! It turned out so well and now we have it often. It tastes like Hamburger Helper. My son who swears he doesn't like peas or mac and cheese ate this up and went back for thirds!! The mashed peas add a little more 'liquid', so it may be a little dry if you substitute regular peas. I'll be trying this with tuna later. this week :)
