Cheesy Beefaroni
- Number of Servings: 4
Ingredients
1.0 clove Garlic1.0 cup, sliced Zucchini16.0 oz Turkey, Ground turkey, 93% lean5.0 serving Newman's Own Marinara Sauce, 1/2 cup1.0 cup HEB italian blend shredded cheese6.0 oz Skinner Large Elbows Macaroni1.0 serving Mushrooms, Fresh, White Button, Sliced (3 oz / 85g)2.0 oz Onion, sweet, raw0.5 cup, chopped Green Peppers (bell peppers)0.5 serving Red Bell Pepper (one medium pepper)
Cook ground beef until done. While meat is cooking boil water to cook pasta. Remove beef, set aside, add onions, peppers and zucchini to the same pan and sautee until onion is translucent and peppers and zucchini are softened. The smaller you dice the veggies the quicker they will cook. Add garlic last and cook for only about a minute, maybe two. If you add in any earlier it can burn and become bitter. Using the minimal fat from the beef will also keep you from having to add extra olive oil for sauteeing and add flavor. Return beef to pan, add sauce and cooked macaroni. Stir to combine, Now you can either transfer to a serving dish, sprinkle cheese over top and bake until cheese is melted about 15 minutes or you can just add a quarter cup of cheese to your individual serving. The heat will melt the cheese pretty quickly. I prefer baking to be honest.
