A favorite, affordable comfort food, this dish comes together quickly and easily. It doesn't take much more effort than it's store-bought, boxed counterpart, but it tastes far better! It's a one-pan recipe, so clean-up is also a breeze!
8
1 pound ground beef, extra lean
3 cups milk
2 cups hot water
2 cups uncooked whole wheat elbow macaroni
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1 Tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons garlic salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
a pinch crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
2 cups shredded cheese, Mexican blend

2 cups hot water
2 cups uncooked whole wheat elbow macaroni
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1 Tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons garlic salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

Mix the seasonings with cornstarch in a small bowl till well combined. Set aside.
Cook the ground beef in a large skillet. Drain and discard fat. Return beef to skillet. Add the spices, milk, water, and pasta and stir to combine.
