Spiced up mac n cheese ...

1 lb sweet italian turkey sausage (remove from casings and brown)
half of small onion chopped
clove of garlic
can of sweet yellow and white corn
12 oz elbow mac or rotini or whatever you have
velvetta (halfish of a block) cubed
1/4 cup milk
2 tbsp butter
I brown the meat of your choice with the onion and garlic.
I like the sweet italian sausage.
Yesterday I used ground beef. Meanwhile boil water and cook your noodles to al dente. In a sauce pan add your butter, cheese and milk. Melt over low heat until you have a nice cheese sauce. When the meat is browned drain grease add corn to meat and continue to cook over low heat. When the noodles are done drain and add to meat mixture and top with cheese sauce. Mix well and serve. :D
Not the fanciest meal on earth but my kiddos eat it up!!!
