Ingredients
- 8 oz elbow macaroni
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning ,divided
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 12 oz Can evaporated Milk
- 8 oz medium cheddar cheese ,grated
- 1 10 oz can ROTEL ,drained
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, salt generously, then add the pasta. Cook until just al dente, then drain and return to the pot.

- Place the pot with the drained pasta over medium heat. Add the butter and the egg yolk and stir vigorously until it is completely combined and the butter is melted.
- Stir in the evaporated milk. Start adding the cheese, one handful at a time, mixing until the cheese has melted. Once all of the cheese has been added, add the remaining tablespoon of taco seasoning. Cook, stirring constantly, until it has thickened up into a creamy sauce.
