Recipe for the week… Easy Spinach Chili-Roni!

.

This was a hard one to work with, mainly because I do prefer to always cook meals from scratch.

But on those days when you need to whip something up in a hurry, it helps to have a few of these cans in the pantry.

This is such an easy, quick, recipe that anyone can put together.

To make sure the kids had their serving of fresh veggies in the dish I threw in the organic spinach. But knowing that my kids’ gag reflexes work over-time when they see strands of spinach floating around, I did a little hiding with the cheese!

The kids don’t even notice the spinach in there…

Honest!!

Here’s a look at the 7 ingredients used in my Boyardee-concoction…
