Mexican Mac and Cheese

1. Bring a pot of generously salted water to a boil and cook pasta until al dente, about 9 minutes. 
2. While the pasta is cooking, add olive oil to a skillet set over medium heat and cook the ground meat until no longer pink. Add chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder and salt and stir to combine. Set aside.
3. When the pasta is cooked, drain and set aside. 
4. Using the pot the pasta was cooked in, melt the butter. Add flour and stir to form a paste, about 1 minute.
5. Add milk and whisk into the flour mixture, stirring until thickened. Add cheese and stir until melted.
6. Add ground beef, pasta and tomatoes to the cheese sauce in the pot and toss to combine.
7. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place ramekins on a baking sheet and fill with mac and cheese and bake for 10 minutes. 
8. Serve garnished with sour cream, cilantro, green onions and salsa, if desired.

Good to Know: The pasta can be made up to one day in advance.
