After long day of school and work, I just want to lie down with Netflix and eat some comfort food. And if you're like me, there is nothing better than mac n' cheese or a burger. So I combined both to create a mac n' cheeseburger for just you. It's good for your tummy and your soul with a little help from Baking Mischief for the single-serving mac n' cheese.

  • Step 1

    Gather all ingredients. Make sure red meat is defrosted or this will take a lot longer than you want. Bring a small pot to boil and make pasta according to the box. Once cooked set aside and cover to keep warm.

    Grab the ground beef. If you don't eat a lot, then only use 1/4 pound. Cook ground beef in a skillet and drain grease once cooked. While the meat is cooking, sautée the onions and add it to the meat. Mix in garlic powder, salt, pepper and ketchup.

    Melt butter over a medium heat stove, whisk in flour until it becomes a thick golden paste (less than one minute). Then whisk in milk slowly until it gets thick and starts bubbling (2 to 5 minutes). Take off stove and mix in the cheese until it melts completely.
