Increase heat to high. Add water to ground beef mixture in the skillet. Cover and bring to a boil. Stir macaroni into boiling water-ground beef mixture. Cover, lower heat to medium, and cook for 5 minutes. Stir, cover, and continue cooking until macaroni is tender, about 5 minutes.

Recipe Tips

For a Mexican-inspired version, add 1 tablespoon cumin and 2 teaspoons chili powder to ground beef as it cooks. Serve with chopped lettuce, tomato, and salsa.

If you're in a hurry, you may use dehydrated onion instead of fresh and add more onion powder.
