Ingredients

  • 1 Box Horizon Organic Classic Mac & Cheese
  • 2 Tbsp Butter
  • ¼ C Milk
  • ½ lb Ground Beef
  • 2 Tbsp Taco Seasoning
  • 1 8.75 oz Can Sweet Corn Kernels
  • 1 Small Green Bell Pepper diced
  • 1 Small Red Bell Pepper diced

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of water to boil and add the macaroni. Allow to cook as instructed on the package.
  • In a small saucepan on low, combine the sweet corn, red and green peppers, and allow to warm, stirring occasionally.
  • While the macaroni cooks, in a frying pan, brown the ground beef over medium high heat, crumbling as it cooks, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add the taco seasoning, stirring until thoroughly combined.
  • When the macaroni is cooked to tenderness, drain and return to the pot. Add the butter, milk, and enclosed cheese mix packet and mix until thoroughly combined and cheesy.
  • Mix the mac & cheese, ground beef, and veggies together and place into three bowls. Top with fresh cilantro and a drizzle of ranch dressing. Enjoy
