BREAK UP MEAT INTO SMALLER PIECES AND CONTINUE TO MICROWAVE FOR 2 TO 4 MINUTES MORE UNTIL MEAT IS BROWN; DRAIN. MIX IN UNCOOKED MACARONI, SAUCE MIX, 2 CUPS MILK AND 1 1/4 CUPS BOILING WATER. MICROWAVE UNCOVERED ON HIGH FOR 10 TO 15 MINUTES, STIRRING EVERY 5 MINUTES UNTIL MACARONI IS TENDER. (SAUCE WILL THICKEN AS IT STANDS). CAUTION: BOWL WILL BE HOT. BECAUSE MICROWAVES COOK DIFFERENTLY, TIMES ARE APPROXIMATE.
