One Skillet Enchilada Pasta
One Skillet Enchilada Pasta. I have a new baby boy. Â That makes three kids ages 4 and under. Â My attention is......well, very divided these days. Â I love cooking. Â I love to make a warm, yummy, bubbly meal. Â However, I cannot make a meal that requires lots of attention or intricate details. Â I need to get dinner on the table quick during the hour in which my toddlers seem to have the MOST energy and needs.
Its amazing isn't it?! Â It's like their little bodies can tell time. Â My day can be going smoothly and I can feel pretty pulled together.....then, 4:45 hits and the crazy breaks loose. Â That also happens to be right before I start dinner. Â OYE! Â Lets band together moms and make a pact, we won't let the crazy hour ruin dinner. Â This one skillet pasta is essentially a homemade version of hamburger helper. Â It comes together quickly and tastes amazing. Â Toddlers will be happy, hungry teenage boys will praise you, husbands will be calling dibs on the leftovers for lunch. Â Wow them!
(And P.S.....Keep a few bags of my Secret Recipe Taco Filling in the freezer and you will even be one more step ahead with this meal)
