Low Fat Low Cal Mac And Cheese Recipe
I don't know if anyone else wants to try this, I just want to keep it on here with my other recipes. I used vegetarian ground burger (Boca). I have no idea if real meat will work, as I don't eat it. It is only 225 calories per 1 cup serving. Not awf... More

Ingredients
  • 2 boxes mac and cheese (with the powder-not the ready made sauce)
  • 1 bag of vegetarian "beef" crumbles-again, not sure how real meat will work
  • 1 or 2 cans of mushrooms depending on your taste
  • 1-2 cans stewed tomatoes

Directions
  1. Cook the noodles as per the directions on the box
  2. while the noodles sit in the strainer (I don't like to wash more dishes than I have to) add the burger, mushrooms and stewed tomatoes just to warm (obviously, if you use regular burger you're going to have to cook it-vegetarian burger just needs to be heated)
  3. when the mixture is warm and moist (from the mushrooms and tomatoes) add the 2 packets of powdered cheese. NOTHING ELSE do not add the milk and butter as per the box directions-trust me!
  4. Mix it all up and add the noodles
  5. 225 calories per 1 cup serving. Not awful if you want some mac and cheese and/or want the kids to eat their veggies.

This is very different and I like it. I would probably use button mushrooms that I had gently sauteed with a chopped onion. I like the concept and I would certainly make it. Thanks for sharing and high 5.
