As you know, I’m all well-nigh making healthy, fresh supplies for your family. And whenever possible, I like to do it from scratch. I finger much largest well-nigh putting a meal in front of my family when I know exactly what went into it.
But hey, I get it…they’re tabbed convenience foods for a reason. On a rented weeknight, opening a package of Hamburger Helper seems like a lot less work than trying to create a whole meal from scratch. It’s easy, and you know your family will eat it and like it.
Well, what if there were a way to get that same family-pleasing meal without the package? With only, say, ten minutes of work? This Cheesy Whinge and Shells Casserole does just that. It turns a package of ground whinge into a hearty dish bursting with flavor: onion, garlic, tomato, Italian seasoning, and two kinds of cheese. And it only takes a few minutes of work to get it into the oven. Then all you have to do is kick when and wait for it to bake.
Shells are the weightier considering they make a nice container that just scoops up all that beefy, cheesy, tomato-ey goodness. But if you don’t have any, try flipside type of pasta with nooks and crannies in it, like spirals or radiatore.
Starting the casserole out covered keeps it from drying out. Then, taking off the foil for the last fifteen minutes lets the cheese topping get nice and browned.
Ground turkey scrutinizingly unchangingly works as a leaner substitute for beef. And crumbled Italian sausage would be expressly delicious. You could plane sub in your favorite plant-based protein (such as Lightlife Smart Ground) to make it vegetarian.
