This was so quick and easy to throw together and the results are delicious!! I'll have to say, I was a little weary of the short cooking time on LOW....It came out perfect!! Thanks Lori for such a warm and comforting crockpot recipe!!

Very good, fast and easy. The only thing I omitted was the corn. Also, did this on the stove-top instead of the crock-pot. I did opt to use the velveeta cheese which added a nice creaminess to this dish. :-) Made for KK's Recipe-Tag.

Very good and easy dish. I didn't have the time to make it in the crock pot so I did it on the stove top. I cooked the macaroni as the ground beef was browning. Once the beef/onion mixture was done, I threw everything else in (except for the cheese). I also added some Mrs. Dash Extra Spicy to give it a little more kick. I let it all simmer for about 10 minutes and then added the Velveeta cheese. Mmmmmm...a delicious dish that I will be making often. Made for May, 2009 Aussie/NZ Swap.
