  12. 2 tspdried minced onion
  13. 2 tspgarlic powder
  14. 1/4 tspcayenne
  15. 1/4 cupreserved starchy pasta water

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add elbow macaroni and cook until al dente. Remember to reserve ¼ cup pasta water before draining.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, combine dry ingredients and mix until evenly blended. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Brown ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat and drain excess grease.

  4. 4

    Return ground beef to pan over low heat. Add spice mixture and ¼ cup milk to ground beef and stir until well blended.

  5. 5

    Add processed cheese and pasta sauce and stir until well blended.

  6. 6

    Add ½ cup milk and shredded cheeses and stir until well blended.

  7. 7

    Combine ground beef mixture and cooked pasta. Slowly add reserved pasta water until desired consistency is achieved. Do not add all pasta water at once. I prefer a thicker consistency so I only add 2 tbs. For those who prefer a runnier consistency you may use the entire ¼ cup.
