“I've made this a few times now and I love it, one batch is the perfect amount for lunch prep for the week. I like to add diced carrots and mushrooms after cooking the onions and meat, it bulks it out a bit and I love adding vegetables to things. When I made it” — a cook, 5★
“I used this as an opportunity to use what I had on hand! Annie's box of mac (thus did not add flour, reduced amount of shredded cheese, and used less liquid), crushed tomatoes in place of sauce, and added a few Tbsp of chipotle adobo sauce. Also made it vegeta” — a cook, 5★
