| On the days when I'm charged with cooking dinner after a busy day of homeschooling and just being a mom, I need all the help I can get, since cooking is not my strong suit. So, I keep handy a few easy recipies that make cooking quick and fun -- for me and the children. I thought I'd share a few with you. And if you have a fast and easy recipe to share, I'd love to hear from you. As I said, I need all the help I can get. And together, we can share them with others. |

| Beefy Macaroni & Cheese |
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 box Kraft Mac and Cheese (No, I don't make it from scratch. Remember, the trick is to be fast and easy.)
Preparation: Total time required is 15-20 minutes.
Cook and drain the ground beef and set aside.(Make sure as you cook it you break it into the smallest pieces
possible.) While that's cooking, follow the directions for making the macaroni. When done, add the beef mixture
to the macaroni and cheese, stirring well. You may wish to let it simmer on low for about 5 minutes before
serving. Serve with salad and hot bread and butter. Enjoy!
