This is exactly what I want to eat after a night of indulging in spirits. Garnish with avocado, cilantro, hot sauce and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Stir shrimp fajita mixture into prepared Mac & Cheese. Stir in garlic and cook for an additional minute. Peppers and onions should be soft at this point. Add shrimp and cook for another 3-4 minutes. In a medium skillet, saute onions peppers with olive oil and cumin over medium-high heat for 6-7 minutes. Then again, put sautéed onions on anything and I’m into it. Creamy Mac & Cheese gets smash-banged with shrimp fajitas! The cumin in the shrimp really adds a nice flavor to the mac & cheese. I’ll take a bowl of this at Shrimp Fajita Mac & Cheese least once a week. Cut up sausage and stir into prepared mac & cheese with tomatoes, garlic, fresh chopped basil and ovoline mozzarella. Place in the oven and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until sausage is thoroughly cooked. On a baking sheet, toss sausage, tomatoes & smashed garlic with a glug of olive oil and season with salt & pepper. 5-6 leaves fresh basil, roughly chopped.1 box prepared Annie’s Organic Whole Wheat Shells & White Cheddar.I employ this roasted sausage & tomato trick whenever possible and you’ll see why! A little prep at the end provides MAXIMUM reward. That means you can do so much in your kitchen/around the house/kid wrangling while your appliances work for you. Why? Well the oven does most of the heavy lifting for you. If you have roughly 30 minutes to make dinner, this is what you should make. Stir vegetables, chopped basil and goat cheese into prepared mac & cheese.
Season with salt & pepper and a light squeeze of fresh lime juice to taste. Add garlic and cook for an additional minute. In a medium skillet, saute zucchini, corn, and onions in olive oil over medium-high heat until vegetables are softened and have a slight char, about 6-7 minutes. I’d definitely throw a fried egg on top if I’m feeling like going for the gold!Ĭook shells according to directions on package. Goat cheese provides creaminess you’ll love the sweetness you get with the corn addition. All my favorite Summer vegetables! The lime adds brightness to the dish and basil adds a little something something. This Mac & Cheese is inspired by my Corn Zucchini Lime Pizza. Drain shells and broccoli, place both back in the pot and continue following the directions with the additions of butter, milk and flavor packet. When shells have about four minutes left in the cooking time, add broccoli florets and finish cooking.
Put uncooked broccoli into a pot of boiling shells at the last 3-4 minutes of cooking time. Each one of them has their own flavor profile and they work as great bases for the additions.Īnnie’s Organic Shells & White Cheddar –has a creamy mild taste that makes it so versatile.Īnnie’s Organic Whole Wheat Shells & White Cheddar –whole wheat is a nice bonus!Īnnie’s Organic Shells & Real Aged Cheddar–tangy, cheesy, the color is super enticing, don’t you think?Īnnie’s Classic Macaroni & Cheese –it’s a classic! The macaroni shape is my favorite!Įach recipe here serves 2 people or (let’s be real) one HUNGRY person. Let’s get into it!īefore we get started, I wanted to share that I used four different types of Annie’s Mac & Cheese for these recipes. Today I teamed up with Annie’s to show you some of MY favorite Mix-Ins (I created 10 recipes total!) on this fine MONDAY. I think Casey definitely appreciates the effort!Įvery Monday Annie’s shares a new creative Mix-In idea on their twitter, Instagram & Facebook pages. It’s very rare that I make a box on its own because I love the challenge of coming up with new additions. Whenever he’s is working late and Cooper has already eaten dinner and gone to bed, I usually whip up a box of Annie’s Mac & Cheese for us adults. BUT!! Casey, on the other hand loves pasta in ANY form. ISN’T THAT CRAZY?! There’s something about pasta he doesn’t like (are we even related?!!) and he’s kinda finicky about melted cheese (only on pizza and sometimes quesadillas). My son, Cooper doesn’t like Mac & Cheese.
