My guilty pleasure

Oh, I have many.  But I have one food guilty pleasure.

Chili-mac

It's a simple recipe

  • 2 boxes of shells and cheese
  • 1 pound of ground turkey
  • 1 can of black beans, rinsed
  • 1 packet of taco seasoning
Make the taco meat as per directions.  Make the shells and cheese as per directions.  Mix the two together.  Enjoy!

I know, super healthy.

So when I made it on Sunday, I added something.  Vegetables!

A few weeks ago I got a variety box of Green Giant Veggie Blend Ins.

I figured that it couldn't hurt.  The carrot in pasta sauce?  Amazing!  So this time I put the spinach in the taco meat and the butternut squash in the shells and cheese?

Does it make it healthier?  Marginally.

But I do this all the time.  Remember my 2 ingredient cake trick?

Dinner tonight?  Chili-mac leftovers!!
