In a large pot, heat over medium heat until warm, about 2 minutes.

Add the lean ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook for 5-7 minutes until it turns a rich brown color. Ensure there's no pink remaining; drain any excess fat.

While the beef is browning, prepare the macaroni according to the package instructions in a separate pot for 7-9 minutes until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.

Once the beef is browned and the macaroni is cooked, return the pot to low heat. Stir in the drained macaroni and the mixed vegetables. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes.

Sprinkle in your desired seasonings, stir well, and cook for another 2 minutes.

Remove from heat and serve hot in bowls or on plates.
