CHEESEBURGER MACARONI AND CHEESE
I love to play around with mac and cheese flavors to make them taste like classic dishes that we all love! This one tastes exactly like a big, juicy, all-American cheeseburger with lots of melty cheese, grilled onions, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. If you shut your eyes and take a bite, you'll be amazed! A green salad or Caesar salad is a great accompaniment for this.

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.

I came up with this combination after making Recipe #94597 and having a lot of meat left (I didn't put all of it in the shells because only two of us were home at the time). I was afraid that I'd end up throwing out the meat so I decided to make Bacon Cheeseburger Macaroni. Hope you enjoy it as much as my family did!

CREAMY CHEESEBURGER MACARONI
I couldn't help but post this recipe. It really does taste like a cheeseburger! My mom made this once for my brothers and I when we were little. I remember loving the flavor of it. Just the other day out of nowhere I was craving this dish. I did an internet search and found it at backofthebox.com, which is basically a recipe site that has recipes found on the back of boxes. This is a Kraft recipe and the blending of these basic ingredients makes the most delicious macaroni and cheese. I like it because it's hearty and includes beef. The velveeta makes it incredibly creamy and the ketchup adds a hint of sweetness. I prefer to use the big macaroni but any size will do. Mmmmmmm so good! I like to serve steamed veggies on the side.

Steps:
- Make your mac and cheese per the box instructions. Salt and pepper the meat and add a clove or two of garlic, brown meat. Combine the prepared mac and cheese with the hamburger mixture, add additional cheese if desired to make this nice and cheesy! Serve warm!
- Variation: you can add diced onion to the hamburger and cook it when you brown the hamburger.
- I usually brown my hamburger in the microwave. I put the meat in a microwave safe bowl along with the garlic (and onion if you like) and then put in microwave for three minutes on high. After three minutes take it out and stir it up, breaking the meat into pieces. Then microwave in 30 second bursts, taking it out and stirring until all the meat is brown. Then when you add the mac and cheese you can just put it in this bowl and serve. This saves how many bowls you have to dirty in the kitchen to make this dinner.
