Shipwreck Casserole

This shipwreck casserole might not be pretty, but it is a tasty, busy-night, kid-friendly meal. The prep time is generally limited to how fast your can opener works and how hard it is to unwrap your meat. The big bonus is that it's a complete one-pot meal!

Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef
1 (7.25 ounce) package macaroni and cheese mix
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 cup milk
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup frozen corn
1 teaspoon seasoned salt or to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided

Directions

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes.
Stir pasta and cheese mixture from macaroni and cheese package into beef. Stir in tomatoes, milk, peas, and corn; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until noodles are tender, about 12 minutes.
Season with seasoned salt. Stir 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese into dish to melt. Top with remaining cheese.
