HOW TO MAKE CHEESEBURGER MAC AND CHEESE
- It is pretty easy I tell ya, all your doing is boiling up a pot of water and cooking your pasta till al dente.
- However prior to it being cooked fully, you will want to toss in your broccoli florets.
- Allowing it to steam/boil on the top for 2 minutes, before stirring it all in and allowing it to cook for one more minute to fully tenderize the broccoli.
- Then you will strain the pasta and the broccoli and set both aside.
- Next is the hamburger, fry it up alongside the whole canned tomatoes till cooked and browned.
- Then add in all the spices.
- Mix in the cheese and allow it to melt, before adding back in the pasta along with the cooked broccoli.
- Give it all a nice toss and serve!
