Notes
You can enhance the nutritional value of the cheeseburger macaroni by adding vegetables like diced tomatoes, bell peppers, or onions. Sauté them with the ground beef for added flavor.
When adding the cheese, cut it into small cubes and add it gradually, stirring until it's fully melted. This ensures a creamy, lump-free cheese sauce. If the cheese sauce is too thick, add a little milk to reach your desired consistency.
Add toppings like crispy bacon bits, chopped scallions, or pickles for extra flavor and texture.
