Cheeseburger Rice

Hello Loves!

This is another one of those recipes that I found on pinterest a LONG time ago and just don't remember where I found it. However I have adapted it for Chris and I. :) This tastes JUST LIKE a McDonalds cheeseburger, but without all of that nasty crap that is in a McDonalds burger. :) Chris and my brother eat this up like it is going out of style!

What you will need:

1. 1 pound of ground beef or turkey
2. 1 cup of rice
3. Ketchup
4. Mustard
5. Garlic Powder
6. Onion Powder or Minced Onion
7. Salt & Pepper to taste
8. Cheese

I used the 5 minute rice because I don't have a rice cooker as of yet, and it is just easier for me to do it that way. :P

As you start your water to boil heat your pan that you plan on cooking your meat in. Cook your rice per however you cook your rice.

Brown said meat. (you can use any meat you would like honestly. I use either ground turkey or ground beef.)

As the meat is browning add your Garlic Powder and Onion to season the meat. (I typically just use onion powder)

When the meat is brown and the rice is done, add the rice to the pan with the meat and stir.

Add Ketchup and Mustard. (for this, it depends on your taste. I use around 6 tablespoons of mustard and 5 of ketchup. That is APPROXIMATE. I typically just squirt it in without measuring)

Add your cheese as well at this point. (it doesn't matter what kind of cheese, whichever you prefer is good. I normally use Cheddar, but in a pinch I sometimes use that parmesean cheese powder.. stuff that you put on pasta.)

Salt and pepper to taste!

I know it doesn't look pretty, but it tastes absolutely amazing! :D

Just like with any recipe, don't be afraid to adapt this to your tastes!

Poor Man's Pasta

Hey everyone!!

So, I really want to post recipes on my blog that I really love. I hope that is okay with everyone!

Now, this really doesn't have a name. The reason I gave it a name is because it's a really cheap, no more than $5 at most!

My parents made this a lot when I was a kid, because we were short on money. You would think that I would have gotten over it but I still love it just as much as I did when I was a kid.

All you are going to need is:

-Cream of Mushroom Soup.

(you can use any soup really as long as its Cream of something. It's tasty with anything!)

-Mixed Vegetables

(I suggest canned.)

-Dry Pasta

(Use any kind you want! =^_^=)

~Make your pasta as normal. Cook it to Al dente (cooked to the tooth)

~Drain your pasta really good and return it to the pot you cooked your pasta in.

~Add your soup and your vegetables.

~Stir and add salt or other seasonings as you wish!

It's really that easy honestly and is so yummy!

if you find 1 can of the vegetables or the soup is not enough you can absolutely add more to it! Just using 1 can of each and 1 pound of pasta is enough for 4+ people depending on how you eat!

You don't have to use the expensive name brand products. I just bought the generic stuff. It's just as good and even sometimes better than name brand!

This is what I payed

Happy Harvest Mixed Vegetables from Aldi $0.59

Nice! Cream of Mushroom Condensed Soup from Walgreens $1.12

And I just used penne pasta. It was from Walgreens as well and was $1.59

So figure without tax I spend $3.30!
