How To Make alec's macaroni casserole

  • Step 1
    Brown beef...add all the ingredients minus the cheeses...simmer for 15-20 mins ...meanwhile cooked the macaroni "al dente" (firm to bite) as it will finish in the oven.
  • Step 2
    In a casserole dish, add the cooked macaroni and combine with the beef/sauce mixture
  • Step 3
    mix the cheese together and use half to stir in ...and the other half to top...cover and bake at 350 degrees covered for 20 mins until all the flavors come together and cheese melts.
  • Step 4
    let cool a bit and cut like a lasagna and serve with garlic bread and salad....this combination of cheeses makes this dish really different and delightful...
