Extra Lean Ground Beef Salt & Pepper Follow the directions for making the mac & cheese and, in the meantime, slice the package of beef into 3 equal parts. Take 2 of the parts and wrap separately in tinfoil and freeze (these will be for future meals). Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add one section of meat. With a spatula, break up the meat (it’ll cook faster this way) and flip it over so it cooks thoroughly. After draining the noodles and adding them back to the pan, add the milk, butter and cheese and stir on simmering heat (low). After it starts to mix, add the meat and stir. Put into a bowl and add salt and pepper to taste. Mini Pizzas Ingredients: English muffins 1 small jar of marinara sauce Mozzarella cheese Take a muffin and split in two.
