Directions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).  Brown ground beef in a large frying pan. When no pink remains add kidney beans, corn, taco      seasoning mix and water. Simmer until no liquid remains, about 10 minutes. Cook macaroni in large saucepan of boiling salted water until tender but firm to bite, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes. Drain. Using the same pot, bring milk to a simmer over medium-high heat. In a separate medium bowl toss 2 ½ cups (725 ml) of the cheese in flour until coated. Add cheese to milk. Whisk until sauce is smooth, about 1 minute. Mix in macaroni and salsa; season with pepper. Spread the beef mixture in a 11” x 17” (28 x 43 cm) baking dish. Pour the macaroni on top, smoothing it out evenly. Sprinkle with chips. Top with remaining cheese. Bake until heated through, about 10 minutes.
