CHEATING CHEESEBURGER MACARONI
This is one of those happy accidents that happened when I had to make up dinner from what I had in the cabinet. It serves a whole family and the kids love it. I used a mixture of what was left in the bottom of the pasta boxes for the pasta. Any short pasta will work. Try adding broccoli, peas or carrots as a variation.

Tips:

- Use a variety of cheeses to create a complex and flavorful sauce. Cheddar is a classic, but you can also add mozzarella, Parmesan, or even Gruyère.
