Cheeseburger Macaroni

For me, macaroni and cheese is an instant time warp back to childhood. It was often served with chopped up hot dogs and ketchup, while watching the Goofy Movie for the 100th time at my gramma’s house. No one can deny this incredible meal. Odds are my gramma was using the box stuff, but now we are adults and it is time to make it grown-up style. If you thought it was good back then, this version slaps way harder.

Forget the chopped up hot dogs, let’s replace those with ground beef. You want our Burger Royale seasoning (trust me) to take this from a regular mac to a mac daddy. Add beef broth and heavy cream to give this dish some power. This isn’t just for kids, it’s also a protein-dense meal you can make for yourself and have leftovers for days. It’s that warm gooey cheesy goodness that hits like childhood. I still recommend eating this while watching the Goofy Movie. Add extra cheese to make a leaning tower of cheese-ah.
