Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat broiler. Cook ground beef, vegetables, herb seasoning and garlic in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up with spoon, until vegetables are softened and beef is browned, about 8 minutes. Add sauce; bring to simmer. Cook, stirring for 8 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, prepare Kraft Dinner according to package directions. Transfer to ovenproof 2 L casserole dish; spoon meat sauce over top. Sprinkle with cheese.

    Broil until cheese is melted and bubbling, about 2 minutes.

    Tip: Use 3 cups of whatever veggies you have on hand (and that your kids love) in place of our suggested mix, such as mushrooms, zucchini or a different colour pepper.
