Taco Bake


I do not remember where I got this recipe, I think kraft.com

1 pkg. Kraft Deluxe Macaroni and Cheese Dinner
1 lb. ground beef
1 pkg. taco seasoning mix
3/4 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1 cup salsa

Prepare Dinner as directed on package. Meanwhile, brown meat in skillet, drain. Add taco seasoning and 3/4 cup water to meat, simmer 5 mins. Stir sour cream into prepared Dinner. Spoon half of the Dinner mixture into 2 qt. baking dish; top with layers of the meat mixture, 1 cup of cheese and remaining Dinner mixture. Cover. Bake at 400 for 15 mins. Top with salsa and remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake uncovered, 5 more mins.

* I did not use the Deluxe mac & cheese mix, I just used a family-sized box of regular Kraft Dinner and added a little more milk/butter,,,,did not add the sour cream. It turned out really well!!! I used medium salsa, and there was enough zing for us. Will def make it again
