I’m excited to be part of January’s #Weekdaysupper Menu! This month we’re focusing on Easy Weekday Meals! I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to redo an old classic!
Hamburger Macaroni Casserole is something I made often on those hurried nights when I worked 2 jobs and still didn’t want to just open a can! Back then, (please don’t ask me how many years ago 😉 ) I’d fry up some hamburger, Boil off some elbows and open a jar of cheap spaghetti sauce. Boom! Dinner!
Now I find that it really doesn’t take any more time to make it from scratch and you can control your fat and sugar intake better too! If time is an issue, skip the oven step. After you mix it together, heat all the way through then serve this casserole sprinkled with a little of the cheese on top!

- 1 lb ground chicken or turkey, 93%
- 2 cups tomato sauce, no added salt
