Easy Skillet Hamburger and Macaroni Dinner

"I don't know the origin of this recipe, but I've been making it for years, and it was always a family favorite. You can use as much, or as little, cheese as you like and any combination of cheese that suits you. I usually put parmesan down as my first layer, top that with shredded cheddar and then top that with some shredded mozzerella. (I like cheese). I have always used 1 1/2 cups of the dried elbows, 'cause I like my dish a little thicker. Enjoy."

  2. What a easy dish to make arroz241. It was so tasty, my dh had two servings. Served with fresh buns and butter. A lovely comfort dish. I did have some substitutions, I used what I had on hand. Cappatelli noodles, orange sweet peppers and ground tomatoes. For the cheeses I used a blend of marble cheddar cheese and pecarino. Lovely flavors and textures. I cooked on top of the stove and finished in the oven for the cheese to melt over the dish. Thank you for sharing this very versatile recipe that I will make again. Made for Spring Pac/2012.
