Ingredients
1 pound lean ground beef
1 (7.25 oz) package macaroni and cheese mix
1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 cup milk
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup frozen corn
1 teaspoon seasoned salt (or to taste)
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned and crumbly, about 5–7 minutes. Drain excess grease if needed.
Stir in the pasta and cheese packet from the mac and cheese mix.
Add diced tomatoes, milk, peas, and corn. Stir to combine.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for about 12 minutes, or until noodles are tender.
Season with seasoned salt.
Stir in half of the Cheddar cheese until melted.
Sprinkle remaining cheese on top and serve hot.
Notes
Swap ground beef for turkey or a plant-based alternative for a lighter or vegetarian version.
Add diced bell peppers or onions for extra veggies and flavor.
Use sharp Cheddar for a stronger cheese taste.
Leftovers store well for 2–3 days in the fridge.
