Set heat to medium for frying pan, put a little butter in the pan, abut one tablespoon.
Chop up ground beef and scrape into frying pan.
Let meat start browning, sprinkle a pinch of garlic powder, a pinch of onion powder, salt and pepper to taste. Stir well. Once browned (about med well), take pan off the heat onto a burner that is off.

Heat water in pot per directions for the macaroni and cheese. Once it comes to a boil, add macaroni and a tablespoon of olive oil. Reduce heat to medium and stir.

Back in college, I used to make something similar. One night, I ran out of oil. In my idiocy, I reasoned, "Hey! Mayonnaise is mostly oil! Let's try that in the dish." To cut to the chase: don't. Do not go there. Ever. A gastronomic goetia slips its leash.

If Diluculo says olive oil, it's for a reason. Trust me on this one.

That sounds pretty tasty for sure.

I’ve thought about trying something similar w/ TVP as a substitute for the Beef but it will take some experimenting to get it right.

I use to make Mac n Cheese with Chicken before the pandemic and that was good too.
