Chili-Cheese Mac
COOKING LIGHT, APRIL 2012
It didn’t look like the picture. I probably should have drained the meat, as it produced quite a bit of liquid. Or cut back on the broth a bit to compensate.It was very much like Hamburger Helper. LOL It was good! It was quick and easy! I used the Weight Watchers Mexican cheese blend. It’s the only RF type of cheddar type cheese WalMart carries. At least at my store anyway.I want it to be spicier. I might use the regular or hot Rot-El tomatoes next time. Or add some cayenne pepper. Maybe some ground chipotle? I think the smokiness would really enhance the flavor.
I honestly can’t wait to have it for lunch tomorrow. It was really good!! Definitely a good, cheap, weeknight meal that will be on the menu again!
Well, I'm glad it's not me and soupiness. And you're right, it was gone the next day for left overs. I'm always looking for cheap and easy for weeknight meals.
D said he ended up putting it in the oven, I think because of the liquid (I may not have been listening). I liked the soupiness but leftovers, the soupiness was gone. We used regular Rotel, and I think next time will use hot.
I liked the leftover.
You're right, cheap and easy and good.
