This is my favorite casserole dish to make my family. Not only is it cheap but it is so easy and it is pretty much a given that this casserole will be all eaten up.

Ingredients

2 pkg. (12 oz. each) frozen Macaroni and Cheese, defrosted*, divided
8 oz. lean ground beef
2 Tbs. taco seasoning mix
2 Tbs. sour cream
1/2 C. diced tomato
1/3 C. crushed potato or tortilla chips
1/2 C. (2 oz.) shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine beef and seasoning mix in large skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes or until beef is no longer pink. Combine 1 pkg. macaroni and cheese and sour cream in medium bowl; spread over bottom of 8-inch-square baking dish. Top with beef mixture. Spread remaining package macaroni and cheese over beef mixture; top with tomato, potato chips and cheese.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until bubbly around edges. Freeze Ahead Instructions:

Prepare as above; do not top with tomato, potato chips and cheese. Do not bake. Cover; freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in refrigerator. Uncover. Top with tomato, potato chips and cheese.
