It's been a while since I've blogged, been busy.

But I've got melty  cheese (generic Velveeta cheese)
Elbow macaroni
Hamburger
Tabasco
Milk

So Im thinking hamburger  helper type dish,
if you do not have a noodle strainer you prep the noodles in  deep frying pan.
Look on the back of the elbow  mac check dry serving size. Measure out according to serving ie  1 dry serving per person. For the type I have it 2/3 cup dry  is one serving  (so my husband,son and my self. So three servings. ) I'm going to put that in the fry pan.
adding water I'm going to put in 2/3 water for every serving plus 2 extra 2/3s.
Boil the water, cover And turn the heat to low.
for about 10-20 minutes (I find a gas stove takes about 20 minutes electric 10.)
Mean while brown hamburger and Cube cheese ( depending on your severing sizes and preference for how cheesy it is) I add 1 cup cubed cheese

Once the noodles  are done add milk, stir in the noodle approx 1/2 cup  may vary depending on how thick or watery you like it. add the cheese slowly other wise you will end up with hidden cheese blobs in your Mac n cheese. Stir and if it seems like your noodle or sticking together to much of the cheese is starting to over cook add more milk take 1/4 cup and add as needed. Then once the cheese is melted at 4 drops Tabasco to bring out the cheese flavor. Must be regular or smoked Tabasco. Then add the hamburger. And boom done there you hamburger helper the food pantry way.
