Hamburger Macaroni and Cheese

Isn't this an all time favorite for most kids? I remember eating this a lot when I was young. My older son especially likes it with his favorite vegetable, broccoli. Alternatively, you can mix your veggies into the dish.

Ingredients:

- Box macaroni noodles 

- 1 lb ground beef (or more)

- 8 oz of your favorite cheese, grated (we usually use provolone but today I used mozzarella)

- 4 oz cream cheese

- milk

- butter

- salt, pepper, and any of your favorite spices

Directions:

Boil pasta as directed, drain and set aside. 

In a pan, brown ground beef until done. 

Combine beef, noodles, grated cheese, and cream cheese. Add a few pats of butter and a splash of milk. Season to taste. Stir gently until everything is incorporated and the cheese is creamy and covering all the noodles and beef. Depending on the type of cheese, you may need to add more milk.
