Directions

  1. Brown the hamburger in a dutch oven or 12 inch skillet. When browned, drain off fat. Rinse the hamburger, to make it lower in fat, if desired. It doesn't hurt the taste at all.
  2. Add the milk, butter, water, cheese package mixes, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add macaroni.
  3. Cover and reduce heat to low and simmer for about 7 minutes or until the macaroni is tender.
  4. Add garlic powder and season with salt to your taste.
  5. Add the cubed cream cheese and stir until melted and blended.
  6. Serve immediately. Yummy.
