How to Make Taco Cheeseburger Macaroni

  1. Cook 1 pound of macaroni in a large pot of boiling salted water according to package directions. Drain well and set aside.
  2. While macaroni is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef, 1/2 medium onion (chopped), and 1/2 medium green bell pepper (chopped). Cook, breaking up the beef with a spoon, until the beef is browned and the vegetables are softened (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Stir in 1 (10.75 ounce) can of condensed cheese soup (cream of mushroom or cheddar), 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup of milk, and 1 packet (1 ounce) of taco seasoning mix.
  4. Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Stir in the hot cooked macaroni. Serve immediately and enjoy!
