This recipe isn't necessarily spicy, it's just got a kick. :) And I like that. I was looking for something quick and easy and thanks to Pinterest and KevinandAmanda.com - I found something where I had all the ingredients right at home. That's always a plus.
Not my favorite meal, but a good quick weeknight meal. I served it will green beans and a salad.
1 pkg taco seasoning
1 can Rotel tomatoes and green chilies (or petite diced tomatoes) [Rotel FOR SURE!]
2 cups beef broth (or water) [I used water]
1 cup elbow macaroni
Brown and drain hamburger meat. Stir in taco seasoning, Rotel, beef broth, and macaroni. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat and cover pan. Simmer 12-14 mins until macaroni is tender.
Meanwhile, make the cheese sauce….
2 Tablespoons butter
2 tbsp flour
3/4 cup milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper [I always add more pepper]
Melt the butter in a saucepan. Whisk in the flour and cook, whisking for 5 minutes until fragrant and light brown in color. Whisk in the milk and bring to a boil. Whisk until smooth and thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted. Add the salt and pepper to the cheese sauce. Pour the cheese sauce over the hamburger mixture. Stir gently to combine.
Serves 4.
