It’s the end of the Month… and I’m getting creative in the kitchen again. This month we have tons of meat still in the freezer… but not much else so I made a man (and toddler) pleasing creation.

I’m no food photographer… but you get the picture :-p

Ingredients

• Cooked hamburger (or in my case… leftover meatballs)
• 1 box cooked pasta
• 14 oz can diced tomatoes
• whatever frozen veggie you have on hand (all we had was okra… yummy)
• 3-4oz grated cheddar
• 2-3 pieces chopped cooked bacon
• 3 Tbs Butter
• 1/4 C flour
• 1.5-2 C milk
• 2-3 Tablespoons Dijon mustard

Instructions

1. Melt butter in medium sauce pan with the some of the bacon.
2. Wisk in flour.  Cook 2-3 minutes.
3. Slowly add the about half of your milk.  
4. Add the Dijon and 2/3 of your cheese. 
5. Keep stirring.  Things should be getting pretty thick.. but if it’s too thick add more milk.  
6. Dump remaining ingredients in a 9×13 baking dish.  Pour sauce over.  Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
7. Bake at 350 until casserole is hot and bubbly and cheese is melted.
8. Enjoy!
