Prep Time: 7 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 22 minutes

Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients:

1 box mac n cheese, made to instructions
1 lb ground meat (I used turkey)
1 small onion, diced
2 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper
1 Tbsp taco seasoning
1 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp hot sauce
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup salsa
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
salsa, jalapenos and sour cream to serve

Steps:

Make the mac n cheese to box directions, or use your own favourite recipe.

While the mac n cheese is cooking, heat some oil in a pan over medium-high heat and add ground meat. Sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper.

When it's mostly all browned, add the onions and garlic powder. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently.

Stir in the taco seasoning, oregano, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce.

Add 3/4 cup of water, bring to a boil, and stir and cook until the water evaporates.

Add the prepared mac n cheese to the pan. Mix well.
