New Recipe

I tried a new recipe last night. It was so good. I got the recipe from SparkPeople.com, it's a free weight loss website that has an awesome recipe site associated with it.

April and David's Mexican Redneck Casserole

1/2 box macaroni, cooked
1 lb. ground beef
1 package taco seasoning
2/3 c water
1 medium onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can sweet corn, drained
1 cup lowfat sour cream
1 package dry onion soup
1 can Cream of Celery soup
1 can Cheddar soup
8oz. mild cheddar cheese, shredded

Brown ground beef. Add taco seasoning and water and simmer for 5 minutes. Saute onion, green pepper and garlic in butter cooking spray until tender. Mix sour cream, onion soup mix, cheddar cheese, and both soups in a 9x13 baking dish. Stir in corn, sauted vegetables and ground beef. Gently stir in cooked macaroni. Bake at 350 for 35 minutes. Makes 12 1 cup servings.

Here's how I changed it: I used whole wheat pasta and ground turkey. I also sauted the corn with the rest of the vegetables. I tried a little salsa in mine and it was good, so everyone else tried it and we also put some crushed tortilla chips on top.
