Cheeseburger Pasta
Instead of making my kids popular processed hamburger dinners out of a box, I like to experiment with fresh ingredients that appeal to kids taste buds. This weeks recipe is a favorite for my boys. They call it cheeseburger pasta and I must admit it tastes a lot like a cheeseburger without the bun of course. I sneak in fresh vegetables like sliced onions and lots of fresh broccoli and because everything gets a generous amount of cheddar cheese the kids don’t seem to mind one bit, in fact they often ask for seconds!
