Wait what? Yes, who doesn’t love a bacon cheese burger? Who doesn’t love mac-n-cheese. Mashup time.

Breakfast – Banana Nut Muffins and an orange

Lunch – Green chicken enchilada with a side salad

One pack of hamburger, some bag-o-bacon the cheese and the pasta all bring protein. A comfort classic in one pan plan. This will make four servings one dinner and three lunches.

Start with bacon – as all good things do.

Stir in a coup of elbow macaroni and a cup of water, scraping up all the lovely brown bits.

Cover and simmer until the pasta absorbs the water.

There wasn’t a lot of options on canned tomato products, so I still have one can of these slices instead of the chunks. Easy enough, strain the liquid off reserving the liquid for another purpose. Then chop the tomato chunks to bite size.

Once the pasta is cooked, add in 1/2 cup milk, 1 cup tomatoes, and 1 cup cheese.

Make “special sauce” salad dressing – equal parts ketchup and mayo with some chopped pickle and thinned to desired consistency with pickle juice.

Divide mac into four servings, plate one and allow the other three to cool.

I have always cooked, I was that person who could make a meal from an empty fridge. I have lived alone and with large and small families, I have cooked for camps on wood stoves, and in professional kitchens. I have lived and worked all over the west from Montana, to Seattle to Arizona to San Diego. I have traveled, maybe not 'all over the world', yet, and have collected tastes recipes and techniques everywhere, and every one I meet.
