US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Prepare the mac and cheese according to directions on the package.
    2 boxes queso blanco Velveeta shells & cheese
  • While the pasta's cooking, add the butter to a large skillet set over medium hot. Once the butter's melted add the beef, pepper, onions, and seasonings to the skillet. Cook, stirring often, until the pepper and onion have softened.
    1 lb shaved beef, 1 large green bell pepper, 1 yellow onion, 2 tbsp butter, 1- 1 1/2 tbsp Montreal steak seasoning, pinch garlic powder
  • Stir 1 1/2 cups of mozzarella cheese into the hot mac and cheese until melted. Then add the beef mixture, stirring to evenly combine.
    2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Transfer the mixture to a greased 2 quart casserole dish, and spread out in an even layer. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese evenly out overtop.
  • Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes, just until the dish is hot & bubbly and the cheese has melted.
  • Broil, if desired, to brown the top. Serve warm & enjoy!

Notes

  • You can also add extra veggies into this by sauteeing some sliced white mushrooms with the beef, peppers, and onions.
  • No mozzarella? That's fine. You could use shredded provolone cheese or even shredded cheddar if that's what you have.
  • If you do broil the mac and cheese, it will only need 30 seconds to a minute so make sure you watch it very closely.
