I have a whole folder on his laptop full of recipes. Tonight I made this one:

I only used half a pound of hamburger though. A whole pound has always proven to be too much for us. Skipped the broccoli since we had none and made up some of those frozen veg as a side dish, and used a little less than a cup of cheese...didn't feel like opening my last package lol. I also liked this one because I can make it without milk, and we run out of milk fast!
But I think I liked this one better:

I'm looking through a few things posted here, and I also just started checking SparkPeople's recipe corner. We typically eat some type of Hamburger Helper-esque meal, or something with noodles and brat/mettwurst. I want to try something different once in a while. |
They aren't the worse I've seen, a little high in saturated fat, if using the turkey then the saturated fat is from the cheese, substitute it with a reduced fat cheddar and the saturated fat content will drop making it better. It is also a high starchy carb meal so would be better for a mid day meal than later in the day. Try to stick with fiberous carbs as the day progresses. Reason being unburned carbs are stored as fat so eating them earlier in the day will use them as fuel rather than storing them as fat.
