Cheeseburger Mac

Dice the red onion and garlic, then set aside. Next, chop up Velveeta into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Fill a 2- or 3-quart sauce pan with water and place over high heat to boil.

Melt butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Once butter has melted, add onion and garlic and saute them. After onion is translucent, add ground beef. Next, add 1/2 teaspoon of the following spices: onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, ground sage, marjoram, black pepper, salt, rosemary, and thyme. Mix thoroughly.

Once water comes to a boil, add pasta shells and reduce heat to medium to medium-high.

After the meat has browned, add cheese, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, and sweet relish. Stir continually, adding the remaining 1/2 teaspoons of onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, ground sage, marjoram, black pepper, salt, rosemary, and thyme. Add pepper flakes. Once cheese has melted, allow to simmer 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

After shells have finished boiling for 8-10 minutes, drain and add to sauce mixture. Stir shells until completed coated. Allow casserole to simmer another 2-3 minutes, stirring as needed.

Serve and garnish with parsley.
