Easy Cheeseburger Mac

Submitted by ChipotleChick

"From the Kraft website. Nothing fancy, but a tasty dressing up for boxed macaroni and cheese! It's also versatile. When I made it, I added 1/4 teaspoon or so of Montreal Steak seasoning. I also cooked a chopped onion along with the hamburger. You can use whatever seasoning you normally use when you make burgers to spice it up. Jalapenos are good in this as well."

This was very good. I had some relatives over at the last minute and they joined us for dinner, and enjoyed this. My husband said it was good for a "do-over."
