Hola Mexico! Mac and 'Burger Casserole

I helped out Safia recently with a Mexican food-themed dinner. Everything was pretty easy and simple and had common ingredients which made it even better for feeding a party of people. We also made some spritzy pina colada :) But here's one of the the dishes Safia makes often and is always a hit. Go light on the cheese topping, that mac and cheese can be more than enough!

FOUR LAYER HAMBURGER AND MACARONI CASSEROLE
Makes 6 servings

2 (12-ounce) packages STOUFFER'S® Macaroni and Cheese, defrosted* - divided use
8 ounces lean ground beef
2 tablespoons ORTEGA® Taco Seasoning Mix
2 tablespoons sour cream
1/2 cup diced tomato
1/3 cup crushed potato or tortilla chips
1/2 cup (2-ounces) shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 400ºF (205°C).

Combine beef and seasoning mix in large skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes or until beef is no longer pink.

Combine one package of macaroni and cheese and sour cream in medium bowl; spread over bottom of 8-inch-square baking dish. Top with beef mixture. Spread remaining package macaroni and cheese over beef mixture; top with tomato, potato chips and cheese.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until bubbly around edges.
