HAMBURGER HELPER-ISH


so...i used to love hamburger helper but there is no vegetarian version of it so i decided to create my own!

All you need is:

1/2 lb. elbow macaroni
1 pkg. veggie beef
taco seasoning (it's really east to make yourself...i think i have a post somewhere on here with the recipe)
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 c. mozzarella cheese, shredded

Cook the pasta until al dente. drain and set aside.

meanwhile, in a stockpot, saute the garlic in the olive oil over medium heat for 2 minutes. increase the heat to med-high, add the beef, and cook for about 5 minutes, until cooked through. Add the seasoning and 1 c. water. add the cooked pasta to the mixture and slowly mix in the cheese. (you can add more cheese if you want, it's really up to how cheesy you want it). Mix it all together well and serve.

PS- that tea in the background is the BEST TEA EVER! my favorite flavor is mint and honey in case any of you ever feel like getting me some...hint hint, wink wink ;p
