Cheeseburger Macaroni

This is a twist on a Krafts Food recipe.  My 11yr old son loves this stuff and can't get enough of it. He told me tonight that if he were a king he would request his servants to serve him this every night! I guess I am his servant....although I already knew this!  He would eat this stuff until he popped if I let him, he is in that stage of growing where he can never get enough...just as I sit down from doing dinner dishes he comes to me asking for a snack and I'm like, what?!!! He is gonna be tall I have a feeling, he only has a few inches to go to catch up with ol mom and I'm almost 5'7" but, he is only 11!  Anyways, you can do a lot to this recipe to adapt it to your likings by adding more veggies. Use 100% whole grain noodles to up the fiber,etc. This dish is SO nice because it is a one dish meal, the noodles cook in the same pan! BONUS!  We also like to add a can of diced tomatoes to this!
