There is a slightly guilty side of me that loves the kind of macaroni and ground beef skillet dish that comes from a box. It always reminds me of rowdy dinners at home growing up, with my brothers and sisters all around.
This from-scratch version is nearly as easy as the boxed kind, and just as comforting. It also feeds a crowd and makes excellent leftovers!
I like to use cheddar for this recipe, or you can make it with mozzarella for a more mild flavor. Whichever cheese you have on hand is going to be delicious.
And don’t worry that you’ll need too many dishes. You can make the whole thing in one large skillet, noodles and all.
