Cheeseburger Macaroni + A Red Pack Giveaway

I love a good one pot meal. They make my life so much easier, they make clean-up a breeze and I love when all the flavors combine to make something tasty & delicious! This recipe is a no-brainer because it takes 25 minutes to make from start to finish, it was a fun way to sneak some extra veggies {celery, tomatoes, red pepper} into my little man’s diet AND both the babe + the hubs loved it! It seriously tastes like a cheeseburger, but with macaroni! Win!

In a large skillet, brown 1 lb. ground beef and 1 cup chopped onion. Drain well. Add 1 (14.5 ounce) can Redpack® Petite Diced Tomatoes, 1 stalks of sliced celery & 1/2 of a chopped up red pepper along with 1 cup of water; bring to a boil. Add 1 cup elbow macaroni and bring back to a boil
Reduce the heat to simmer and cook for 10 minutes or until macaroni is done. Sprinkle with 2 cups shredded cheese on top and stir until cheese is melted.

And here’s a little sample salad recipe from Red Pack! I haven’t made this yet but totally plan to! Looks yummy!

SASSY CHICKEN SALAD

MAKES 6 SERVINGS

PREPARATION TIME: 20 MINUTES

1 (10 ounce) can RED GOLD® DICED TOMATOES & GREEN CHILIES, drained
½ cup light mayonnaise
1 tablespoon honey
2 cups chunked cooked chicken breast
1 cup thinly sliced celery
1 cup grapes, halved
⅓ cup chopped toasted pecans

In a medium bowl, combine RED GOLD® DICED TOMATOES & GREEN CHILIES, mayonnaise and honey. Stir in chicken, celery, grapes and pecans.
Cover and chill. Maybe served in hollowed out melons, avocados or papayas. Also makes a great sandwich when served on a Croissant.

Cooking Hint:

To toast pecans, bake uncovered in ungreased shallow pan in 350^o oven for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Another option is to toast them in the microwave. Place a single layer on a microwave safe plate and cook on high for 2 minutes. Stir and cook for 1 more minute.
