JENNY-APPROVED HAMBURGER-SPINACH-TOMATO-PASTA ONE DISH MEAL



Jenny-Approved Hamburger-Spinach-Tomato-Pasta One Dish Meal image

My family loves this dish which tastes especially good as left-overs. This is the perfect middle of the week meal when you don't want the pressure of coming up with several dishes to serve. It's a very healthy meal -- I recommend using either whole wheat or PLUS pasta and 'no salt added' diced tomatoes and then seasoning the ground beef with salt and pepper. Hint: If you're really in a rush and need to save time, use powdered garlic instead of fresh; use 1 can stewed tomatoes in place of 1 can diced tomatoes and the chopped onions; and either omit the carrots or use the pre-shredded carrots you can find in the produce section at larger grocery stores.

SPINACH TOMATO BURGERS



Spinach Tomato Burgers image

Picnic Pasta Salad -- One Dish Meal image

A terrific, portable, one-dish meal made from items you probably have in your pantry and fridge. Good for a packed lunch when you don't want sandwiches (just keep it chilled in the cooler), or good for a cold meal at home on a hot day. Best made the night before.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 15m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb macaroni, cooked and cooled (or other preferred pasta)
1 -2 cup diced ham (ham you cut from a real ham is leaner than lunch meat ham or other processed ham products)
1/2 lb diced swiss cheese or 1/2 lb diced provolone cheese
1/4 cup minced sweet onion (optional)
1 lb frozen green beans, cut in 1-inch pieces
4 -6 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
12 ounces marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil or 1/4 cup canola oil
1/4-1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
1 teaspoon prepared mustard (I prefer Heinz brown)
1/4 teaspoon celery seed

Steps:

  • Mix all salad ingredients together in a large bowl.
  • Whisk dressing ingredients together until smooth and well-blended.
  • Toss salad ingredients with dressing until well-blended.
  • Let sit, refrigerated, at least 4-6 hours, preferably overnight.
  • Note: Additional vegetables can be added substituted if desired. Frozen broccoli florets or chopped cucumber are particularly good. But if you add a lot of extra veggies you might need an extra half batch of dressing.
  • Note: It is not necessary to thaw the frozen veggies if making it the night before.
  • Note: Fresh beans, snapped to size, can be used raw for a crisper texture or they can be blanched and cooled first.
