Steps:
- Brown meat in large skillet; drain. Stir in salsa and 11/2 cups water. Bring to a boil. Stir in macaroni. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover. Simmer 8 to 10 minutes or until macaroni is tender. Add Velveeta; stir until melted. Makes 6 servings.
Tips:
- Choose the right macaroni. Elbow macaroni is the classic choice for macaroni and cheese, but you can use any small, sturdy pasta shape. Penne, shells, and rotini are all good options.
- Cook the macaroni al dente. This means cooking it until it is just tender, but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked macaroni will be mushy and will not hold its shape well in the casserole.
- Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is the star of the show in macaroni and cheese, so it's important to use a cheese that you love. A sharp cheddar is a classic choice, but you can also use a blend of cheeses, such as cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
- Make a roux. A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that is used to thicken sauces. It's essential for making a smooth and creamy macaroni and cheese sauce.
- Season the sauce to taste. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good seasonings for macaroni and cheese. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, cumin, or chili powder, to taste.
- Top the casserole with breadcrumbs. Breadcrumbs add a nice crunchy texture to the top of the casserole. You can use plain breadcrumbs or seasoned breadcrumbs.
Conclusion:
Salsa macaroni and cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover salsa and macaroni, and it's sure to be a hit with the whole family. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that everyone will love.
