Time 20m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (12 ounce) box Velveeta shells and cheese dinner (I use Velveeta 2% variety to keep it lighter. Do not use the powdered mac and cheese)
3 tablespoons onions, diced
3 slices bacon, diced small
1/2 lb lean ground beef
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt (or seasoning blend of your choice)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (I use more but i like things garlicy )
pepper
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

Cook Macaroni in boiling water according to directions on the box.
Meanwhile, brown the hamburger, onion, and bacon in a skillet until everything is nicely browned and cooked through.
Add the packet of cheese from the Macaroni box, seasonings, ketchup, and butter to the hamburger, and simmer over low heat, stirring often.
When macaroni is done, drain and add to the hamburger and cheese mixture, stiring until evenly coated and heated through.
Serve and Enjoy! You could also try adding some veggies in if you like, but I usually serve them on the side.
