Southwestern Mac & Cheese image

I wanted to make something quick and easy and knowing how much my husband likes macaroni & cheese I thought I could tweak an old favorite of his. Kraft Macaroni & Cheese. I looked through the cupboard and came up with this recipe. He loves it, and so do the kids. Success!
