Zesty Italian dressing is my favorite thing to add.
Bacon bits is another!
Bacon, or broccoli, toasted and buttered bread crumbs, it’s a blank canvas
Ground beef, rotel, taco seasoning and ranch seasoning, we call it taco mac
A roll of spicy sausage, chunks of kielbasa also!
I like steamed broccoli and sliced hitdogs. Sounds weird but its delicious. I asli tried rotel with taco seasoning and ground beef.
I always add a tablespoon of mayo, salt and pepper to boxed mac and cheese. Everything else on the side..
Hamburger and onions salt & pepper
My kids love it when I add potatoes,ground beef and rotel
Add kielbasa and broccoli
Add hamburger and rotel
Mix I some chili
I like to add vegetables to my Mac and cheese yummy
Put a breadcrumb topping on it with melted butter and breadcrumbs add in some crispy bacon chopped up and bake the macaroni velveeta cheese in a casserole dish till
Lightly browned.
Seasoned hamburger meat and 1 can of cream of mushroom soup. Its similar to hamburger helper.
Lots of black pepper onion and garlic powder
Taco seasoning and ground meat of some kind
Hamburger and some veggies. Tastes better than the helper
Sautéed smoked sausage sliced, throw it in. So yummy!
A little bit of Greek seasoning little more garlic powder a
Add taco meat, salsa & cover with doritos then bake!
Tuna and sweet peas! I love it but I’m the only one in the family that will eat fish so I don’t have it often but it’s so good!!!
I saute some little smokies then add to the Mac & cheese,put in casserole with extra cheese on to, bake at 375 for 15-20 min
A can of rotel mild
I make a macaroni salad with it!
Prepare like usual let cool. Stir in Mayonnaise, canned chicken, crushed pineapple, green pepper, celery, season to taste! Refrigerate and then serve
Homemade is best but sautéed jalapeños is great in mac n cheese
Make your own taco bake,
Brown your ground meat
Drain, add taco seasoning was the recommended water.
In another pot boil shells, drain, add cheese sauce mix well, the add the taco meat, fold/mix until it is all blended well.
You can leave it like that and dish it up Or you can transfer it into a baking dish, top with cheese pop it in the oven until melted,
Then add your toppings, lettuce, onion, salsa, sour cream etc.
I like to add chunky salsa in the meat/ shell mix or a can of diced tomatoes.
Now it’s ready to serve .
You van also make the homemade cheesy hamburger helper. Season the ground meat the way you would a burger patty
Then you can either divide the meat in half, put some meat in a baking dish, add some half the mac m cheese add the rest of the meat then mac n cheese
Top it off with a little shredded cheese or sliced cheese .
Or combined meat and mac n cheese toss in a baking dish top off with cheese and serve when done..
Bake each of these for about 20 minutes since everything is already cooked.
Way cheaper than buying Hamburger helper less sodium, and you can make a bunch .
Broccoli bits and bacon bits
Taco meat and rotel or browned and crumbled breakfast sausage is my favorite, it has the best flavor.
I’ll sometimes add cream of chicken to it.
Nothing perfect as is …..but sometimes we add a can of chili and hot dogs and Make chili hot dog mac
Rotel and ground beef and it’s a “meal” eat it with Doritos or plain chips
Bacon, linguica, chicken, ground beef, broccoli, peas, cut up steak. Any of these are good.
Hamburger chilli little smokies smoked cheese crab maybe some spicy cheese made all of these kinds I think they are good I also salt my pasta water when it’s time to put it all together I add milk butter pepper
My dad always added a little sharp cheese.
Sour cream, make with half n half, a little dry mustard and additional
Shredded cheese
I make a basic chili with ground beef, black beans, kidney beans and Rotelle tomatoes and mix it with the Velveeta Mac n cheese to.make chili mac
Rotel, chili seasoning packet, chili beans, hamburger =chili Mac
Pick your protein! Hamburger, bacon, chicken, ground lamb, pick a zesty veggie mix, diced jalapeños, rotel, fried onions. Serve it up!
Broccoli and shredded Chicken I have also gotten those little grated carrots and cooked some in the water to make them tender and added that and Broccoli and chicken
avocado chunks! I kid you not, best thing I’ve ever done to mac & cheese.
Sloppy Joe mix and Kroger Mac n cheese shells and cheese!!! Tons of left overs!! I added sour cream to it yesterday and it was delicious
Bacon, chicken, and a small amount of jalapeños
My kids add fried jalapeno, (like the French’s fried onions) and bacon pieces.
I sprinkle fresh bacon bits on mine
Add tuna and peas. Black pepper , an a little onion
Chili and a little bit of garlic salt
More cheese, really sharp cheese, I used to add a can of tuna and some crushed potato chips
Nothing because I don’t eat box mac and cheese. Homemade is so much better.
