Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 packet taco seasoning mix
• 2 cups water
• 1 box boxed macaroni and cheese dinner (e.g. Kraft Dinner)
• 0.25 cups milk
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup fresh diced tomatoes
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.25 cup taco sauce
• 0.25 cup sliced black olives (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or deep skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until fully browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.

Step 2

Sprinkle the taco seasoning mix over the cooked beef and stir well. Add the water and bring to a simmer.

Step 3

Add the macaroni pasta from the boxed macaroni and cheese dinner (set aside the cheese packet for later). Stir to combine, cover the pot, and cook the pasta in the seasoned water according to the boxed instructions (usually around 8-10 minutes), stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Once the pasta is tender, add the milk, butter, and the reserved cheese packet to the pot. Stir everything together until the cheese sauce is creamy and well blended.

Step 5

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and incorporated.

Step 6

Remove the pot from heat and spoon the mixture into serving bowls. Top each serving with fresh diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, a dollop of sour cream, a drizzle of taco sauce, and optional black olives if desired.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your Easy One Pot K D Taco Supper!
