<br>HG's All-American Beefy Mac
<br>
<br>Leader of the Mac  
<br>Whether you call it beefy mac, beefaroni, or American chop suey, a hearty pasta meal full of ground beef and rich tomato sauce rocks. Indulge in our AMAZING recipe without a lick of guilt...
<br>
<br>Prep: 20 minutes 
<br>Cook: 30 minutes 
<br>
<br>Ingredients: 
<br>3 cups frozen cauliflower florets 
<br>4 1/2 oz. (about 1 1/4 cups) high-fiber elbow macaroni 
<br>1 1/2 cups chopped onion 
<br>1 1/2 cups chopped green bell pepper 
<br>1 lb. raw extra-lean ground beef (4% fat or less) 
<br>1 tbsp. chopped garlic 
<br>1/2 tsp. each salt and black pepper 
<br>2 cups canned crushed tomatoes 
<br>1 cup diced tomato 
<br>2 tbsp. canned tomato paste 
<br>1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce 
<br>1 tsp. dried oregano 
<br>1 tsp. dried basil 
<br>Optional seasoning: crushed red pepper 
<br>
<br>Directions: 
<br>Place cauliflower in a large microwave-safe bowl; cover and microwave for 3 minutes. Uncover and stir. Re-cover and microwave for 2 minutes, or until hot. Drain excess liquid. 
<br>
<br>Roughly chop cauliflower, return to the bowl, and cover to keep warm. 
<br>
<br>In a large pot, cook pasta per package instructions, about 7 minutes. Drain pasta, and stir into cauliflower. Re-cover to keep warm. 
<br>
<br>Spray the pot with nonstick spray, and bring to medium-high heat. Add onion and bell pepper, and cook and stir until browned, about 4 minutes. 
<br>
<br>To the pot, add ground beef, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Cook, stir, and crumble until beef is fully cooked and veggies are soft, about 6 minutes. 
<br>
<br>Add all remaining ingredients to the pot, and stir well. Bring to a boil. 
<br>
<br>Reduce heat to low, and stir in cauliflower-pasta mixture. Cook until hot and well mixed, about 2 minutes.

<br>American Chop Suey, Average
<br>
<br>Chop Eww-y 
<br>American chop suey is a childhood staple for many, no matter what you call it. And with good reason! What kid (or adult, for that matter) wouldn't love saucy ground beef mixed with a pile of elbow macaroni? The problem? It's fatty ground meat mixed with carby pasta, a.k.a. a high-calorie nightmare. And while there are some vegetables involved, there's rarely enough to balance things out. Our solution? Bulk up high-fiber macaroni with cauliflower and other tasty veggies, and swap out regular ground beef for the extra-lean kind. An easy, flavorful DIY sauce seals the deal. It's time for some serious comfort food with a not-so-serious calorie commitment...
