Ok, if there’s one thing you need to know about me, it’s that you can literally eat macaroni and cheese three times a day… seven days a week. .
And.. I love boxed things and I love Hamburger Helper.. all macaroni, homemade, baked, boiled, slow cooked, boxed, frozen.. all of the macaroni I love.
Well this is my top 2. Yes, I just said it!Has entered my top 2 (along with my Ultra Creamy Slow Cooker Mac & Cheese)!! To me, it looks a lot like a boxed burger helper, but I know all the ingredients for this recipe.
The highlight is 20 minutes from start to finish!
