Recipe submitted by Paula E.
1 (7 1/4-ounce) box Mac n' Cheese dinner
1 lb extra lean ground beef
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
2 cloves garlic
1 14.5-oz can stewed tomatoes, undrained
1 can kidney beans, drained
1 can of corn, beans, or other vegetable, drained
1/3 cup sour cream
1/3 cup sharp cheddar cheese

Prepare Mac n' Cheese as directed on package. Brown meat with chili powder, cumin and garlic in a non-stick skillet on medium heat. Add tomatoes (undrained!) and beans and simmer three minutes. Add canned vegetable of choice and simmer three more minutes or until veggies are heated through. Stir in prepared Mac n' Cheese and cook 3-5 minutes or until heated through. Top with sour cream and cheese. *For lower caloric intake, prepare Mac n' Cheese using skim milk and add less butter. Use ground turkey in place of beef and low fat or fat free sour cream.
