Taco Mac & Cheese

Directions

1. 1
   Brown meat in large skillet, drain.
2. 2
   Stir in 2 and 3/4 cups water, salsa and chili powder.
3. 3
   Bring to boil; stir in macaroni.
4. 4
   Cover; simmer 10 minutes or until water is almost absorbed.
5. 5
   Note: I had a hard time getting the macaroni done so I precooked it the next time and it turned out fine.
6. 6
   I also added just a little water to make this a little thinner, it is very thick and rich.
7. 7
   Add Velveeta; stir until melted.
8. 8
   Top with crushed tortilla chips, chopped green onions and tomatoes, if desired.
