Cheeseburger Macaroni

Servings:
1 Protein
3 Vegetables
1 Starch
1 Nutritional Supplement

Suitable for all Freedom meal plans only

Ingredients:
Cheeseburger Macaroni
1 serving Ground Beef, lean (can substitute with Ground Turkey)
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tsp Worcestershire
1 small Tomato, diced
½ medium Onion, diced
1 packet Macaroni & Cheese Nutritional Supplement
Unflavored Non-Stick Cooking Spray

MWLC “Pickles”
½ medium Cucumber, sliced
1 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tsp Dill Weed
1 serving Stevia
1 small Garlic clove, minced

Preparation:
Prepare the “pickles” by combining the cucumber, apple cider vinegar, dill weed, stevia and garlic (optional) in a bowl.  This can be made ahead so the flavors can marinate.

Next, prepare the macaroni and cheese according to package directions.

Preheat a medium sized pan and spray with unflavored non-stick cooking spray. Cook the ground beef and garlic.  How do you like your onions when eating a burger?  Sauteed or raw?  Add the onions if you like them sautéed (or add them at the end with the tomatoes if you prefer them raw.) Mix the prepared macaroni and cheese into your pan.  Stir and serve alongside your pickled cucumbers. 

If serving on top of a bed of lettuce (2 cups), add 1 more vegetable to your count. Can be served with 1 tsp of Mustard OR Ketchup or 1 tsp of Chili Powder for a delicious Chili Cheeseburger Macaroni!
