Mexican Cheeseburger Macaroni
Updated January 21, 2021 
"A hamburger helper version of cheeseburger macaroni made from scratch with extra seasonings and flavors. First things first, this dish can be modified to fit vegetarians or meatatarians. You can use any form of ground protein such as turkey, beef, soy, or vegetables. I have actually tried all variations and they are equally delicious! Start off by heating a pan and cooking your ground protein and adding some taco seasoning. You can add garlic and red chili powder at this point if your family can tolerate the spice levels. I usually add red chili powder/crushed pepper from the top so there is no alarming anyone. "
