I call this recipe adult for 2 reasons. 1. Because adults are busy working all day and don't have time to make dinners from scratch every night. 2. Because you can add vegetables to anything and call it "adult." Although this recipe is using a boxed mac and cheese it is healthier than any mac and cheese from scratch you could come up with. The noodles are wheat and everything is organic. Feel better now?
Ingredients: Annie's White Cheddar Mac and Cheese box, 1 tbsp butter, 2 tbsp milk, handful of mushrooms, spinach, and depending on whether you want to go vegetarian or not- chicken sausage (Aidells is my fav with great variety of spiciness and flavors)
Directions: Follow the recipe on the box to cook the mac and cheese. Meanwhile, cook the mushrooms and sausage on the stove top with a tbsp or 2 of water, covered on medium for 3-4 minutes. Spread a bed of fresh spinach on each serving plate. Mix the mushrooms and sausage into the mac and cheese once complete and pile on the spinach.
Think of it like a healthy, satisfying salad. The 12 minute total cook time is not shabby too.
