Fiesta Macaroni and Cheese is quick and easy to prepare. I found this recipe on the Kraft Foods site and have used it several times. My Venture Scouts (Ages 14-20) love it and can make it easily on the trail.
Tip: put the ground beef in a baggie and freeze it, then wrap in foil and put in fanny pack.
When ready for dinner it should be thawed.
