Another Fine Mess

I wanted to prepare a goulash type meal for dinner tonight. I had the ground chuck browning and water boiling for the macaroni. I pulled the macaroni box out of the cabinet and discovered that it was almost empty. There wasn't nearly enough for this dish. I dumped it in the pot and it was definately not enough.

I did have some Kraft mac n cheese, so I opened one of those and dumped the macaroni into the boiling water. That would be plenty now.

After browing the meat I added some roma tomato sauce, onion, garlic salt, red pepper, oregeno, and the cooked, drained macaroni. I then figured what the hell and stirred in the packet of powdered cheese from the Kraft.

After letting this mess simmer for about 30 minutes I dished it out to see how bad it would be. It was pretty tasty. The cheese offset the red pepper and the combination made for a pleasant mixture of flavors.

Ohhhhh that sounds scrumptious!!  I know what you mean about using the macaroni from mac and cheese to stretch or help out when making hot dish ( goulash).  We've had to do that too. 

,  some of our casseroles have had regular macaroni and then some of the curly que type that are different colors!!

Have a great evening
