Macaroni and Cheese with Ground Beef, Salsa and Green Chiles

Over the years, we have amassed a large collection of Dutch oven recipes, and we enjoy sharing them with others who appreciate this form of cast iron cooking. The popularity of Dutch oven cooking has increased greatly over the past several years as many people discover the benefits of using these cast iron pots and associated pieces of cast iron cookware. Most of our recipes can be used for indoor cooking in your oven or outdoors in a more traditional campfire setting.

Thinking of what you can do with your macaroni cheese left over? This is a good recipe especially if you want something very quick and easy during picnic on a weekend. Just adjust the spices if it’s too spicy for your family.  Definitely a big hit because of its wonderful rich and creamy flavor that will surely blends with the beauty of nature in a Saturday afternoon.

Ingredients:

Creamy Macaroni and Cheese (left over)
1/8 teaspoon Salt and black pepper to taste
1 pound lean ground beef
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 cup salsa (your choice of hotness)
1 (4.5 ounce) can chopped green chilies

Cooking Instructions:

  • Add the cilantro then stir in with your creamy macaroni and cheese leftover.
  • Place in a container and put in your picnic basket.
