Well it warmed up a bit today after yesterday's snow. Starting to melt already as it's around 40 degrees today. Went to Jungle Jim's Market this morning, which is always an experience in grocery shopping! You could spend hours in the Deli and Produce departments alone. Stocked up on Produce and some Seafood items. For dinner I prepared a new one from the Velveeta/Kraft Cheesy Skillets Dinners, Chili Cheese Mac.
I've tried the Ultimate Cheeseburger numerous times so I thought I would give the Chili Cheese Mac a try. The dinner kit includes: Pasta, Velveeta Cheese Sauce, and Seasoning pack. All I had to do was add the 2 cups of water and 1 lb. of Ground Turkey. I used Jennie – O Extra Lean Ground Turkey. Using the Extra Lean Ground Turkey instead of the Ground Beef you can lower the calorie count by anywhere from 60 – 80 calories! As I browned the Turkey I added Sea Salt, Pepper, and Ground Smoked Cumin for seasoning. It’s ready in about 10 minutes. I then add 2 cups of water, the seasoning and pasta. Simmer for 10 – 12 minutes and add the Velveeta Cheese and your ready for dinner. I’ll leave the instructions at the end of the post. It’s 380 calories and 28 carbs but you can lower the calorie count by using the Ground Turkey as stated above. The Ultimate Cheeseburger Dinner is very good but i think this is my new favorite. I really like the Chili Seasoning! Another one pan quick, easy, and delicious Velveeta/Kraft Dinner!
i also had a couple of slices of Aunt Millie's Light Whole Grain Bread. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Chocolate Swirl Frozen Yogurt.
