Macaroni Masterpiece

I heart macaroni and cheese. It's so easy, quick, cheap, and indulgently yummy. My children love macaroni and cheese. My husband loves macaroni and cheese. Except for the stigma and the boredom of eating the same thing over and over again, we could easily eat it multiple times a week. I know my family is not alone in this, so I'm going to give you a super easy recipe today to almost completely alter your macaroni goodness into *gasp* MORE macaroni goodness!

Macaroni Lasagne

1 box macaroni and cheese
1/2-1 jar of spaghetti sauce (this can be leftovers, or your own version of spaghetti sauce, the recipe is versatile, just use what you like or what you have)
1/2-1 lb ground beef or turkey (unless it's already mixed into the sauce, then omit)
Mozzerella Cheese

1. Make macaroni and cheese according to package directions.
2. Meanwhile, brown the meat, add your own special blend of spaghetti seasonings (if you don't know what to add try a basic Italian seasoning mix or some basil, onion powder, and garlic). Drain. Add spaghetti sauce.
3. Layer macaroni and cheese in an 8x8 baking dish with spaghetti sauce and mozzarella cheese. You probably won't get more than two layers tops. That's okay. It's really good no matter what and your kids won't care.
4. Serve with healthy veggies and enjoy!!!
