Fun twist on mac n'cheese

My family loved this recipe, but I did make a few minor changes. I used the fiesta nacho cheese soup instead of the cream of mushroom, and added some taco seasoned ground beef. I also added a bit more milk since we like our mac n'cheese creamier. I will definately be making this recipe again!

Kids faves

Was surprised that all 3 of our kids loved it, I used Campbell's creme of mushroom & garlias a twist and an extra 1/4 cup of milk as the first time was a tad dry

Yeah!

I like mac n cheese, not so much my family, so I thought this wouldn't work but it did. I also made ground beef chinichangas, but this was as good, which suprised me. Best I ever made.
