Homestyle Beef-a-roni

Today I discovered Elise at Simply Recipes and was interested in her old family recipe for HMO which stands for Hamburger, Macaroni & Onions. I can't wait to try it, but it reminded me of a meal that The Grants make on occasion.

Weekly, we make a big pot of spagetti sauce that might be used for any number of possible meals. Perhaps the easiest and favourite thrown together dish in our house. The following is far from a real recipe, but here it is:

Kraft Dinner - as many boxes as needed depending on how many you are feeding.
Make KD as per instructions on box. In our house we mix in lots of extra cheddar to make it extra cheesy.

Left over meaty spaghetti sauce:
Mix as much sauce as you like into the KD.

That's it! Scoop it out of the pot & load on some grated old cheddar.

If you want to take it up a notch or two, put the mixture in a baking dish & cover it with a bucnh of CHEESE. Mix it up a bit, use old white & orange cheddar, monteray jack and mozz. Throw it in the oven until the cheese it brown & bubbly.

Our family loves this simple use of left overs & I bet yours will too.
