Last night, I decided to create my own meal. I wasn't sure how this would taste but decided to just throw all the ingredients together and hope for the best. I call this 'Cheesy Jalapeno Cheeto Macaroni'. This is so bad for you but OMG, so good! 🤤 Ingredients: 1-1/2 cup Velveeta Cheese 1-1/2 to 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese 1 can Rotel Tomatoes 1LB ground beef Pasta of your choice (I used a 900 gram bag) And Jalapeno Cheetos, I used 2 cups
Directions: Cook the pasta as per the instructions on the bag. Once cooked, drain and rinse.
Meanwhile, cook the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain any grease.
Add the Rotel Tomatoes and both cheeses to the cooked meat. Cook until the cheeses are melted.
Then in a big pot or bowl, mix together the pasta with the cheesy meat sauce. Once mixed thoroughly, stir in Jalapeno Cheetos. Serve and enjoy!
Options: You can add more cheese if you want it cheesier.
You can add onions to the ground beef while cooking.
You don't need any seasonings as the Rotel Tomatoes and Cheetos give it all the flavours needed.
If you don't like Jalapeno Cheetos, you can use regular Cheetos.
For a vegetarian option, omit the ground beef. You can also put this into a baking dish once you have it all mixed. Sprinkle some cheese on top and bake at 350°, uncovered, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes: This makes a big batch, so lots left over. I like to freeze individual servings for my husband for his lunches. If you don't want to make this big of a meal, cut everything in half.
If you are wanting to freeze for lunches my suggestion is, don't add the Jalapeno Cheetos after you mix the pasta with the meat sauce. Separate half the meal and scoop into individual freezer and microwave safe containers. Then freeze. Make little individual servings of Jalapeno Cheetos in Ziploc Bags, with half of the recommended amount of Jalapeno Cheetos. After you heat your meal, stir in the Jalapeno Cheetos. Doing this will prevent the Cheetos from becoming soggy.
If you make this, please let me know, #cheesyjalapenocheetomacaroni
