Cheeseburger Macaroni

I know this doesn't look like much but it tastes great so hear me out. :)

When Nathan is gone I like to find easier meals for me and the kids. It's not that they don't like "fancier" foods... It's actually quite the opposite. I like to think of them as my little foodies and they enjoy a variety of different foods. I would have to say they are less picky than I am! (Well, Anya definitely is... Eric and I probably have the same level of pickiness!)

Back to the point of this post... While the kids enjoy eating meals that take me forever to make, they also enjoy meals that take me 5 minutes to make. Since time is precious when Nathan is away and I would much rather spend time playing with them, I tend to gravitate towards easier/quicker meals.

This meal is just that. Quick, easy, and the ingredients are what you would usually have in your pantry/fridge. The best part is that it is incredibly delicious! I loved it and the kids loved it and I will definitely be making it again!

Enjoy!
