Quick Dinner for a busy night!!!

Today was a busy day! Shanks (my husband) was at work until 530 and as always I had plenty of running around to do!!! We don't celebrate Halloween but the Clinic does (Shanks works with kids), so he had to stay at work a little later than usual to pass out candy. After work Shanks went to the Gym around 6pm and I had to use a coupon before it expired today. Since my husband does not like to eat too late, I had to think of something quick and easy for dinner.

Thanks to my older brother, who shared some knowledge with me today, I will try new things with this blog.

For dinner we had my one pot mac and cheese, ground beef, and green bean dish. This is a very easy and economical dish to make. Below I will share the ingredients and recipe... let's go!!!!

Ingredients:

* 1 Box of Velveeta's Shells and Cheese with Rotel
* 1 pound of ground beef or ground turkey
* 1 can of green beans
* 1 tsp. of tomato paste or sauce
* 2 fresh chopped/ smashed garlic cloves
* 1/4 cup of Worcester sauce
* seasoning of your preference or taste (I use Adobo by Goya, oregano, and Seasoning salt)

Cook your Shells and cheese normally. Put the Rotel packet aside (we are going to use that after we brown the beef). While your shells are boiling, begin to brown your ground beef in a large skillet over high heat. When the beef is beginning to brown, go ahead and add your garlic and season the beef, stir well. Add tomato sauce/paste. Open the packet of Rotel from the Velveeta box and mix it with the ground beef. Then stir in your Worcester sauce and add green beans. Continue to cook the beef over high heat until all the liquid absorbs. By this time your shells should be ready to go, drain them and add them to the ground beef mixture. At this time you want to add the cheese and mix everything together trying to evenly spread the cheese.

Now, you are ready to eat!!! I hope you enjoy this dish. It is not much of a Puerto Rican dish but it is very easy, economical, and taste great. It's almost like Hamburger Helper instead Hamburger Helper didn't help you  :)


Buen Provecho (Spanish for bon appetit)
