Ground beef. It tastes like a cheeseburger. Yum. Season the meat with taco seasoning (your own, not the store stuff because that's way too salty), and serve with a side of black beans. I also like adding tuna and broccoli and making it a cheap tuna casserole. Cut up some pepperoni or some Italian sausage, and you have a pizza casserole. Grilled chicken also works. Peas are a super easy way to get some veggies in.

Can you tell I was broke in college and grad school? Don't even get me started on ramen recipes.

A can of Rotel.

These together. While not box Mac n cheese, I like to make Mexican Mac and cheese with macaroni noodles, velveeta, hamburger, rotel tomatoes and green chiles, and black beans. Make that all in a big pot, and pour it into a casserole dish. Throw some Mexican blend shredded cheese and crunched up Fritos on top, and throw it in the oven until the cheese is melted. It's amazing and pretty easy.
