Are you loving these mac & cheese toppings that I have been sharing? The Cajun and French Onion are some of my faves, so don’t forget to check them out if you haven’t already!
Macaroni and cheese and I go way back. As with most of you, I grew up eating the boxed dinner. Both of my parents worked full time jobs, so summers were spent at home with my older brother and sister, fending for ourselves. Alas, lunches were typically mac ‘n cheese, and mac ‘n cheese… oh and then maybe some mac ‘n cheese.
A girl can grow tired of mac ‘n cheese.
It was years before I would eat it again, and even still, I struggle to eat it plain. That’s why I’m always coming up with these fun toppings to spruce up the cheesy noodles, like this Taco Mac and Cheese!
Toppings = fun and exciting, new and interesting, tasty and different.
The taco mac and cheese is great because …maybe you just had Taco Tuesday and you have leftover taco meat in the fridge? And maybe you don’t have enough to make tacos again, but just the right amount for a fun new twist to your mac and cheese!
I can’t tell you how awesome this combo is… but I’ll try…
IT’S AWESOME!!
The sour cream on top just makes it soooo much more creamy, and delicious. This almost reminds me of another boxed dinner. The one with the giant glove that talks… yeah – I’ve had my fair share of those meals growing up too…
Have fun with your food. Experiment and try new things.
It’s good for you.

This looks delicious! I am so sick of traditional taco night (my family asks for it non stop) this would be a wonderful alternative!

Totally right?! You might want to sit down for this, but what about mac ‘n cheese IN. THE. TACO!?! I just thought of that the other night too, how fun! hehe.
