Super Easy Cheeseburger Macaroni

Calling all comfort food lovers! This Super Easy Cheeseburger Macaroni is a budget friendly way to get dinner on the table fast that the whole family will love!

When the temperatures start to turn colder, my brain shifts to craving all the comfort food all the time. Or, you know, all the carbs all the time. Same thing.

Cheeseburger Macaroni definitely fits that “comfort food” bill.  Growing up on a dairy farm with a mom that worked alongside my dad meant that when it came to dinner most nights fast, filling, and budget friendly were a requirement. This was a meal that we could get in from “choring” (doing evening feeding, milking, and clean-up) and mom could have dinner on the table in less than twenty minutes. Bonus points for being incredibly easy…it was the first meal that all three of us kids learned how to make. And it will probably be the first meal I teach my kids to make.

This recipe uses basic ingredients that I always have in my pantry and freezer. Hamburger, Kraft Macaroni and Cheese (don’t substitute here, it just won’t taste the same), cream of mushroom soup, and a little milk combine to make a delicious, kid friendly, stick to your ribs type of meal that’s sure to become one of your family’s favorites.

How to Make Super Easy Cheeseburger Macaroni:

Grab a pound of hamburger, put it in a skillet, and brown it, seasoning with some Lowry’s Seasoned Salt and Lowry’s Garlic Salt. In a separate large sauce pan, prepare the macaroni and cheese according to the package directions. Once the hamburger is browned and the macaroni and cheese has been prepared, add the hamburger to the macaroni. Pour in a can of cream of mushroom soup. Add the milk little but little until you get the consistency you want. I like mine to be nice and creamy, so I usually end up almost a full soup can of milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve with a slice of bread and butter (perfect for sopping up the sauce that’s left on the plate!).

About Me

I'm a Midwestern farm girl that married a Dutch farm boy. I love cows, Shakespeare, wine…and cocktails…and wine, Jane Austen (I'm pretty sure I was born in the wrong century), all the carbs, spring, and George Strait. If I'm not off somewhere showing dairy cattle or in some theatre rehearsing for a play, you'll find me at home working side by side with my family or in the kitchen experimenting with flavors from this way and that. Welcome to life at the crossroads!
