Meanwhile, brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease. ( I to use the paper towel method to soak it up and throw excess away.
Once beef is cooked, stir the cooked macaroni along with the cream of chicken soup, milk, and cheese sauce packets. Stir together and cook for about a minute or until the cheese powder is mixed in.
