Okay, so this one comes straight off the Velveeta box, but it's tasty and quick.

Prep: 5 minutes. Cook: 15 minutes. 1 lb. ground beef (I used ground turkey (dark), 1/3 cup salsa, 1-1/2 tsp. chili powder, 2 cups (8oz.) elbow macaroni (I used whole wheat egg noodles), uncooked, 1/2 lb. (8oz.) Velveeta, cut up.
  1. BROWN meat in large skillet on medium-high heat, drain.
  2. STIR in 2-3/4 cups water, salsa and chili powder. Bring to boil. Stir in macaroni, cover. Reduce heat to medium-low, simmer 8-10 minutes or until water is almost absorbed.
  3. ADD Velveeta, cook until melted, stirring frequently. Garnish with 1/2 cup tortilla chips, 1/4 cup chopped tomato, and 2 tsp chopped green onions if desired.


Makes 6 servings, about 1 cup each.

Enjoy!

** Since I cook for one, I don't add the toppings until I serve the dish that way the chips don't get soggy and the onions don't overpower it as I reheat the leftovers.
