Beefy Mac and Cheese
The family just loved this dish. It was a nice side dish but hearty enough to be a main dish. Many a left over lunches were had with it!
Now this recipe (adapted from one found in Gooseberry Patch’s Slow-Cookers, Casseroles & Skillets
) calls for browning your beef before cRockin’, so earlier in the week when I made that yummy Lasagna Soup, I went ahead and browned up my beef for both recipes and popped the beef for my Beefy Mac and Cheese in the fridge until I needed it.
That made throwing this meal together in the morning a snap.
One other note… I do believe one reason we LOVED this recipe was that I once again used my pantry staple as the tomatoes in this dish… Basil, Oregano and Garlic Diced Tomatoes! SOOO yummy!

What is the Cheese Sauce Mix? An envelope of something? A box?
It is an envelope. With the mixes (gravy, seasonings, etc.) The only one I could find was an alfredo mix but it was really good.
