This cheeseburger macaroni skillet meal is fast becoming a favorite at our house. Because there are only so many times in a week you can eat plain pasta, I have started doctoring the boxes of mac and cheese up a little.
Adding in some ground beef, veggies and spices is all it takes to turn this into a whole new meal that is fun and tasty, and yet still familiar enough that the kids will eat it.

Oh my gosh, Jenni, these photos are on point! Love that you used Annie's for the recipe base. Can't wait to make this for Alex and I!
This looks gorgeous! And the photos are amazing!
This looks so good! I love Annie's too!
What a great family dinner this recipe would make!
This looks fantastic – like an all in one, extra cheesy lasagne. I would so love a big bowlful!
This is the ultimate mac and cheese – I love the idea of having mac and cheese with cheeseburger. Yum!
Love it, I've used bacon in macaroni cheese, and I've used smoked salmon but loving the idea of hamburger combo!
I love this idea! It's still homemade but with a healthy short cut. Perfect for days when I don't have time to cook anything complicated. Thanks for the idea! Pinning for later 🙂
This looks so good! Will definitely be making this for dinner tonight! Thank you for sharing!
I have bought that brand of cookies for the grandchildren, but have never tried the pasta. This looks like a tasty and easy weeknight dinner. Perfect for leftovers too.
I totally agree! As a busy wife and mom I cannot always do it all! No one can! Great recipe!
This looks delicious! Cheeseburger Macaroni and Cheese is my teen favorite food to eat. I'm going to check out Annie's products.
I just know both my kids are going to go crazy for this! Beautiful photos on this post too, btw!
My family would love this for dinner!
This looks gorgeous! And what awesome photos!
Perfect quick meal. I think I'll add kale too 🙂
I could eat this whole skillet!
Annie's brand is one I actually don't mind buying. This is such a neat way to put a twist on shells and cheese.
Looks great!
This would make my boys so happy.
This sounds so good!
An entire pot of hot mac and cheese is perfect with this foggy weather! Loved it!
Have a lovely week!

Wow – the the two together – my family could get enough for this meal!
