ingredients
- 1 (7 ounce) box Kraft macaroni and cheese
- 2 cups squash, sliced
- 1 cup zucchini, cubed
- 1⁄4 cup milk
- 1⁄4 cup light Italian dressing, wish bone
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
directions
- Preheat oven to 375 and grease (I use Pam) a 2 quart round casserole dish.
- Steam squash- I simply put all in a bowel with enough water to cover and microwaved it for about 5 minutes.
- Prepare macaroni as directed on box. At the same time, brown your meet.
- Once macaroni noodles are soft, drain water, return to pot, and mix in squash, zucchini, 1/4 Celsius milk, 1/4 Celsius dressing, and cheese packet that came in the macaroni and cheese box.
- After that is combined, mix in your meat and half of cheese. You may also want to add different seasoning at this point. I used Italian seasoning and some garlic powder.
- Pour into casserole and top and bake for 15 minutes, covered. Top with remaining cheese and bake another 5 minutes, uncovered. Enjoy! It's SO yummy!
