This mac 'n' cheese version is made right in a cast-iron skillet in the oven or on the grill. No extra pans required! All you need is store-bought cooked pasta. Combine it with browned ground beef in a tomato marinara sauce, generously sprinkle with grated cheese, and garnish with spicy jalapeño rings. Bake until the cheese is melted and serve piping hot.
