Cheesy Beef Casserole

I'm sure someone has come up with this before, but here is my version of a quick(ish) dinner. 


Ingredients:




  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 lb elbow macaroni
  • 1/8 of a block of Velveeta, sliced thinly
  • 1 c cheddar cheese (or cheese of your choice) shredded

Directions:
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add pinch of salt and macaroni. Cook until al dente. Meanwhile, cook ground beef over medium-high heat until done through. Drain off grease if desired.
In a large casserole dish, starting with macaroni, alternately layer macaroni, beef, and Velveeta until the layers reach the top edge of the dish. Top with shredded cheddar. Bake at 350 degrees for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly. If desired, bake slightly longer until cheese starts to brown.

It's simple. It's relatively quick (the noodles take the longest). And it's sure to be a pleaser with the hubby and kids.
