- Meanwhile, combine dry ingredients and mix until evenly blended. Set aside.
- Brown ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat and drain excess grease.
- Return ground beef to pan over low heat. Add spice mixture and ¼ cup milk to ground beef and stir until well blended.
- Add processed cheese and pasta sauce and stir until well blended.
- Add ½ cup milk and shredded cheeses and stir until well blended.
- Combine ground beef mixture and cooked pasta. Slowly add reserved pasta water until desired consistency is achieved. Do not add all pasta water at once. I prefer a thicker consistency so I only add 2 tbs. For those who prefer a runnier consistency you may use the entire ¼ cup.
