a really simple ground meat and noodle casserole, my go to when I don't want to spend much effort cooking. Good for about 3-4 servings.

2 packages of kraft dinner (or macaroni noodles). Boil these in a pot until they are done. Strain the water, add these to a large bowl.
1 pound of ground meat (beef, chicken, or turkey all work). Season the meat as it cooks, I usually add salt, ground pepper, paprika, rosemary, a splash of vinegar or Worcestershire sauce. Cook this in a pan on low-medium heat with some oil until it's done. Then add to the bowl.
grated cheese (or you can make a cheese roux). Add to the bowl as well.
whatever else you'd like!
mix everything and serve

For vegetables, I have something quick like cherry tomatoes, baby carrots, or something frozen like peas or corn that's easy to heat up in the microwave.
