A dry mix of elbow macaroni and seasonings packed in a bag or jar. Add ground beef, water and milk for a quick one-skillet lasagna-style dinner.

Ingredients

Base dry mix

  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. onion powder
  • 2 tsp. paprika
  • 1 tsp. salt (optional)
  • 1 tsp. cornstarch
  • 1-1/2 c. uncooked elbow macaroni

Directions

  • Mix everything together and keep it in a quart-sized ziploc bag or a pint-sized mason jar.

Notes

To prepare: brown 1 lb. ground beef and drain. Add the mix, then 1 cup water and 2 cups milk. Simmer until the macaroni is fully cooked. Add grated cheese a few minutes before serving if desired.
Storage: 6 months to a year. Optional: for a cheesier mix, add 1/2 to 3/4 cup cheese powder to this batch and omit or reduce the salt.
