I added some pinto beans because we love beans and I used a red pepper but otherwise stuck to the recipe. Really great! Thanks Roni.

But I do know of people who use Laughing Cow light cheese to make an Alfredo knock off. For example… http://ronisweigh.com/2007/07/laughing-cow-light-cheese-wedges.html#comment-530 Sandy – I’ve never been a “creamy” sauce kind of gal so I don’t have any ideas off the bat.

I've shared it with so many friends. Lots of your ideas are getting kid approved in our house...the husband here eats about anything. Anyway, do you have any lite ideas with "white sauce" instead of red sauces? My kiddos aren't much into red sauce, unless forced and I'm always looking for a healthier option than the high fat alfredo. Thanks for your help! Hey, I’m LOVING your recipes.

The hubby didn't feel like going out to pick up hamburger buns to make his burgers, so I decided to do this and if he didn't like it, well he could just eat a can of tuna. I had some peppers, but he vetoed the zucchini so I ended up throwing some frozen vegetabels (caluiflower-broccoli blend) in, as well as some frozen peas. It was so great! I ended up making about three times the amount of your recipe since there was so much ground beef, but we just measured it out and froze a bunch of portions for quick meals this week. The only thing I might try is using our favorite spicy pasta sauce next time (which we were out of) for a bit of added kick. But LOVED it!

After we had taken our first few bites, we both looked at each other and nodded in agreement. It's a definite keeper!! What's even better is that it took VERY little time! YAHOO!! I LOVE that!!

I love using whatever is leftover. Those dishes usually end up being in the regular rotation at our house. And oh my goodness, I used to be OB.SESSED. with Beefaroni. I still have little moments when I pass it in the store. I'd probably throw up a little if I ate it now since things from childhood rarely taste as good as you remember. So I'll stick with the memory, and it's oh so good. I bet this is so tasty! I love using whatever is leftover. Those dishes usually end up being in the regular rotation at our house.

I just tried to re-create it recently and actually did pretty well, I thought. My kids liked it a lot, but I had to use 'jar' gravy which I usually find pretty gross. My older son has informed me that they do NOT serve that in school. I'm not sure if that's good or bad, but I will make it again!

My dh asked where I got the recipe...and (of course) I said, "Same place I've been getting all my new great stuff - GreenLiteBites!" He loved the recipe! I think it was really a comfort food for him. He's been working full time and going to school all weekend. He came home needing a home cooked meal, and this fit the bill just perfectly for him. (It definitely helped that it was quick and easy to make!) Thanks again, Roni! : ) I made this last night for dinner.
