ALMOST HOMEMADE MEALS WITH CHEF BOYARDEE


My children enjoy Chef Boyardee products, especially whimsical shaped pasta's they offer. As their mom I am always looking for healthy lunches that are quick and easy. With 4 children I do not always have the time to cook from scratch so when I can grab their favorite shaped pasta's and heat them up and serve them to them I am confident I am offering them a fun healthy meal!

I had never thought of adding other ingredients to Chef Boyardee products and making a whole new meal! Chef Boyardee offers several receipes. Need a quick healthy meal or tired of the same old drabby meals? Chef Boyardee offers so many receipes to choose from! I decided to step out of my comfort zone come up with my own receipe!

Beefaroni Chili

3 cans of Chef Boyardee Beefaroni
(3 cans to feed 2 adults and 3 children + leftovers for my husband's lunch the next day)
1 clove of garlic
1 small onion
dash of basil
dash of Italian seasoning
1 can of Kidney Beans
1 Can of diced tomato's

Sautee onion and garlic
Then mix all above ingredients together and cook
till hot, serve with shredded cheese on top




I served our meal with a side salad and a smoothie - my family enjoyed it!

It was easy and fun to make, I was excited to see how it turned out! Not sure what to make for dinner tonight? Try making one of  Chef Boyardee's receipes!
