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.

In just 30 minutes, and with only one skillet, you can combine macaroni and cheese and the taste of an awesome cheeseburger into one awesome meal.

Its so cheesy, has so much awesome flavor, and is so easy to make that its quickly becoming our family’s favorite meal. Its definitely comfort food! And my husband and I love it just as much as our girls do!
