I love to try new recipes. So I was looking at food blogs and found a couple I just love. They are Skinny Taste and Budget Bytes. Both are great sites for dinners. I have made a few. Tonight, I made the Chili Cheese Beef n Mac from Budget Bytes and added my own spin on it of course. Cause I do that all the time. I added some cumin for a hit of smokey taste and some jalapenos for some spice. 
This is an easy recipe and I highly recommend it. It is like the Hamburger Helper Chili-mac only WAY better. I used whole wheat elbow pasta to make it a little more healthy. I also loved the warning on the beginning of the recipe. "WARNING: Comfort food ahead! This dish contains pasta, beef, and cheese. It's hearty and delicious. Proceed at your own risk! ;)"
Trust me that the warning is soooo true. I couldn't stop at one serving. I had three. But with the temperature at 27 degrees outside, this is a good comfort food. Hats off to Beth at Budget Bytes. She has some great recipes and the budget part is spot on. Its a great site.
So the suggested six, one-cup servers for us was 4 big servings. We each ate two big bowls. It was really good, but darn it, no left overs for lunch.
As a bonus if you like beets, here is what I do for them. I buy about six small to med sized beets. Peel and dice up into 1 inch pieces. Then spread into a 9x13 pan. Pour about 1/4 cup Balsamic Vinegar over the beets and drizzle some honey over the top. I bake at 375 for 45-60 minutes.
They are good with romaine lettuce, feta cheese, cranberries and walnuts. Then with either a balsamic vinaigrette or raspberry vinaigrette. It's kind of like a salad at Biaggis that I LOVE!
Have a recipe or product that you want me to try? let me know
Nothing about this sound healthy, sir. But it does sound delish! And love the recipe for the beets. I never know how to fix them so I don't buy them. Will try this.
