Looking for a cheap, easy recipe to try out? This is the one for you. It was really good. Last night, I had hamburger, mac-n-cheese, and a can of tomatoes and had no clue what I was going to do with them. This is usually the story of my life. This is what we call “dinner on the fly!!”
Easy Cheeseburger Mac-N-Cheese (feeds 6)
1 lb. Hamburger – ($2.27)
2 boxes Mac-n-cheese (any brand) – ($0.66 for 2)
1 can diced tomatoes – ($0.34 Muir Glen Brand)
1/2 onion ($0.15)
kosher salt to taste
pepper to taste
garlic seasoning to taste
no salt seasoning to taste
Total Cost minus seasoning cost = $3.42 to feed 6 people
It is very simple to do:
Brown hamburger meat, onion, and seasonings together. Cook and prepare Mac-n-cheese as directed on the box. After the meat is done, add can of tomatoes, a little more seasoning, and dump mac-n-cheese in a large electric skillet.
Viola, dinner is done!!
