Cheesy Italian Shells w/ Baked Cheese Bread

Dinner Tonight: Cheesy Italian Shells w/ Baked Cheese Bread

Well it's back to our humid and rainy pattern. Rain on and off since last night, and the

humidity has returned! 90's, humid and rain all week, but at least we had a run of 3 days of beautiful Summer days. Not much going on outside today so inside I did a load of laundry for Mom and then cleaned the house today. For dinner tonight I tried a new item, Hamburger Helper Cheesy Italian Shells. I prepared Cheesy Italian Shells w/ Baked Cheese Bread




I purchased a box of Betty Crocker Hamburger Helper - Cheesy Italian Shells at Kroger the

other day. Then while at Meijer that same day I purchased a package of Jennie - O Ground Turkey, and I have the perfect pairing! Hamburger Helper becomes Turkey Helper. The Helper box contains the  Cheesy Italian Shells pasta and hearty Italian-style sauce mix. I added 1 lb. package of Jennie - O Ground Turkey, 1 1/3 cups Water, and 1 3/4 cups 2% Milk. Plus it's a pan meal, easy clean up!


To prepare it; in a medium-sized skillet, sprayed with Pam Cooking Spray and 1 tablespoon

of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, I added the Ground Turkey and cooked until no longer pink. Then stirred in the Hot Water, Milk, Sauce Mix, and Pasta. Heated it until it started to boil and Reduced the heat. Covered it and  let it simmer for 25 minutes, stirring it often. Removed it from the heat and let cool for about 3 minutes and served. A fantastic combo, Hamburger Helper Cheesy Italian Shells and Jennie - O Ground Turkey! I t all creates a Cheesy, well seasoned, Pasta and Turkey dish. I always try to substitute Ground Beef with Jennie - O Ground Turkey or Extra Lean Ground Turkey Breast. By using the Ground Turkey you cut calories, carbs, and fat. Plenty leftover for lunch tomorrow.


I also baked some Cheese Bread. Took 2 slices of Klosterman Wheat Bread and topped it

with a bit of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. Then I added Sargento Shredded Reduced Fat Mozzarella and topped it all with a sprinkle of Kraft Reduced Fat Grated Parmesan Cheese. Had the oven preheated on 400 degrees, Put the 2 slices on a small cookie sheet and baked them until the Bread was toasted and the Cheese melted. An easy prepared Cheese bread, goes great with Italian Dishes and all Pasta Dishes. For dessert later a bowl of Del Monte Sliced Peaches.
