BeefItsWhatsForDinner.com

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 pound Ground Beef (93% lean or leaner)
  • 1-3/4 cups water
  • 1 cup dry elbow macaroni
  • 6 ounces processed cheese spread, cut into cubes
  • 8 to 10 dill pickle slices (optional)

    COOKING:

    1. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add Ground Beef; cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking into 3/4-inch crumbles and stirring occasionally.

    Cook’s Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed ground beef. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.

    2. Stir in water and macaroni; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 9 to 11 minutes or until macaroni is tender.

    3. Stir in cheese cubes. Cook 1 to 2 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally.

    4. Season with salt and pepper, as desired. Serve beef mixture topped with pickle slices, if desired.

    • Wash hands with soap and water before cooking and always after touching raw meat.
    • Separate raw meat from other foods.
    • Wash all cutting boards, utensils, and dishes after touching raw meat.
    • Do not reuse marinades used on raw foods.
    • Wash all produce prior to use.
    • Cook beef until temperature reaches 145°F for medium rare steaks and roasts 160°F for ground beef.
    • Refrigerate food promptly.
