Ingredients

  • 14 ounce KRAFT Deluxe Macaroni & Cheese Dinner
  • 1/2 lb. hamburger
  • 1/4 onion diced
  • 1 large tomato diced
  • 3/4 cup canned Dark Red Kidney Beans drained
  • 3 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon salsa
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup KRAFT Finely Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Optional Toppings

  • sour cream
  • green onions diced

Instructions

  • In a large skillet add hamburger and onion, cook over medium-high heat until meat is thoroughly cooked and onion is translucent. Add in diced tomatoes, kidney beans, tomato paste, salsa, and chili powder. Cook for 3-5 minutes, set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 400ºF. Spray mini muffin pan with cooking spray if making bites.
  • Prepare KRAFT Deluxe Macaroni & Cheese Dinner in large saucepan as directed on package.
  • Once noodles are done, pour noodles into the skillet with the meat and add in cheese sauce, stir together until well combined. *At this point if you want to leave it as a skillet bake, top with cheese then serve when it melts.
  • In a small bowl whisk egg, stir into pasta until combined.
  • Spoon mixture into mini muffin pan. To make this easy I used my cookie dough scooper which made it less messy. Depending on how much you add to each muffin cup, you should get 32-36 muffin cups filled, it is about 2 tablespoons in each muffin cup.
  • Top with a pinch of KRAFT Finely Shredded Cheddar Cheese.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Let it cool for a few minutes, then remove from pan onto serving plate.
  • Garnish with a dash of sour cream and top with green onions if desired. Serve and enjoy!
