Recipe Test: Baked Brussels Sprout Mac & Cheese

INGREDIENTS:

  • Brussels sprouts
  • Olive oil
  • Whole wheat pasta
  • Butter
  • Greek Yogurt (I used regular whole yogurt)
  • Milk
  • Cheddar cheese (or whatever combo you like!)
  • Salt & pepper
  • Whole wheat panko bread crumbs



This one is definitely "hubby approved"!  It's not something I'd make regularly because simply, it is a lot of pasta and very little veggie and I'm trying hard to make fruits & veggies the bulk of the meal ... preferably half or more.   I'd made baked Mac& Cheese for a friend of my husband's who is going through a rough time and he seemed to have such a hard time not eating it that I told him I'd make him his own.  A different recipe of course as the other had no vegetables what-so-ever.


Hubby ate half the pan by himself.  I had just my one bowl but it was good enough that in the old days I would have gone back for a heck of a lot more.  We've been doing 'leftovers night' on Wednesdays and I'll admit I reached for this immediately as my dinner again!
