Louie Leftovers

Don't let refrigerator left-overs intimidate you! Here I found half a bowl of cooked pasta, half a bowl of peas & carrots, a bag of about ½ lbs ground beef, some onions & a few cloves of garlic. What to do? Get to work!
The idea is to make what you have work together. That was you stretch the budget and clean out the refrigerator at the same time.


Here is an interesting version of a mac & cheese with ground beef, onions, garlic with a nice side vegetable.


Ingredients:
½ lbs ground beef
½ onion chopped
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp steak seasonings
2 Tbs flour
1 cup milk
2 slices American cheese
½ cup vegetables from night before.

Directions:


Chop the onions and garlic.



Heat oil in skillet and add the onions. Stir occasionally for about 7 minutes. Add the garlic for an additional minute.


Break the ground beef into the skillet and stir. Let brown for 8 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour into the mix and stir in. Let cook a couple of minutes and pour in the milk. Combine well.
Cook stirring until this thickens. Add in the steak seasonings and any salt & pepper to taste.


While that cooks tear up the slices of cheese and add a little bit at a time. To the mixture.
If you dump it all in at once, you will get oil drops in your sauce.

When that is the consistency you wish, stir in the pasta and let it warm.

Hit the leftover vegetables in the microwave and there you have a completely new meal all from bits of left-overs.

Gee only one pan to clean up.. not bad.
