  1. My gosh, this was the easiest ever to make. It tasted very good! Much better than Hamburger Helper and much fresher. I used mild salsa and topped the finished dish with a sprinkling of Parmesan. Served with a salad and french bread. Great!!
     
  2. This is easy to make with simple ingredients, and better for you than boxed mixes or takeout. I cooked and drained the pasta before mixing everything together, and used ground turkey and grated Monterey Jack cheese.
     
  3. Super easy, and really tasty. I did sub colby/jack for the Velveeta, since I almost never have it in the house, but otherwise followed the directions. Loved how I didn't have to pre-cook the noodles, but it did take a few more minutes than the recipe. No biggie. Added pepper to taste, and next time I make this, I'll add some garlic, and maybe brown the meat with some taco seasoning to up the flavor. Thanks for sharing!
     
  4. I think next time I'll cook the macaroni first and use only 8 oz. Velveeta.
     
  5. I've been making this recipe for years and its a family favorite. Easy and tasty!
