Ingredients
- 6 oz macaroni or mini shells
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 1 medium red or green bell pepper or a combination, chopped
- 1 can condensed cheddar cheese soup
- 4 oz shredded cheddar cheese
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 oz taco seasoning mix
- Kosher salt to taste
- Black Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook pasta in boiling, salted water following package directions or wing it.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef in the olive oil with the chopped onion and bell pepper.
- Cook while stirring until ground beef is no longer pink.
- Drain grease onto the floor. Kidding. Don’t do that. Drain it properly.
- Add the cheese soup, shredded cheese, milk, and taco seasoning mix. Taste and add salt and pepper, as needed.
- Stir in the hot, drained pasta. (“Hot, Drained Pasta was the name of my High School Band.)
- Add a bloop sour cream to the finished cheeseburger macaroni mixture.
- If you are crazy, dd minced jalapeño peppers to the ground beef mixture along with the onions and bell pepper, up there in Step 2.

Brian Gerard (Lewandowski) writes books critics call "aggressively adequate"—better than "aggressively terrible" but somehow more concerning. He once traded a MetroCard for a pitchfork on a subway platform and now uses it exclusively for dramatic pointing. He lives on a farm outside Charlottesville, Virginia with three disappointed potted plants, a judgmental pig named Trouble McFussbucket, and a wife who smiles politely at his life choices.

His first manuscript was composed entirely of punctuation marks and confused sketches. He's since published "Not Bukowski" (poems that don't rhyme) and "Slop and Swell from a Festering Mind" (essays so concerning that bookstores check on his well-being). He once spent three hours photographing a rare bird that turned out to be a plastic bag, and he's the only person banned from church bake sales for "weaponized brownies." Inheriting absurdism from Vonnegut and Adams, sprawling narratives from Irving, and weaponized failure from Moore, he writes about conflicted everymen struggling through supernatural chaos.
He has two new, offbeat novels waiting for an agent or a publisher: "Truth Tastes Like Pennies" and "Elliot Nessie."
He remains unconvinced that birds aren't surveillance drones.
