Last night I needed something easy and quick and comfort-foody. This is what I decided on.

2 boxes Velveeta Shells n Cheese (a generic brand would be fine too)

1 lb ground beef

taco seasoning

chili powder

minced onion

You can also use one box, but I needed leftovers for lunch today, and also I'm pregnant, so I'M STARVING. BACK OFF.

Boil water. While you are waiting for the water to boil, brown the ground beef. Drain it, and then add taco seasoning. Another way you can do this, D's way, is to just dump the taco seasoning over the meat BEFORE the browning and the draining. I was going to try it that way but I forgot. Anyway, put in the minced onion and a little chili powder too. Now the water should be boiling, so add all the noodles. The "shells". When the beef is browned, add the envelopes of delicious orange cheese sauce. And a little more chili powder. Drain the shells and add them to the stuff. Mix it all together. Serve. I had mine with corn. It's so good.
