Ever since I moved past the puree stage I've been wanting to try some ground beef, and was thinking about how to have it.  Today I was thinking how much I wished I could have mac and cheese, and realized... mac-less mac and cheese!  With beef!

I've seen recipes for cheese sauce with greek yogurt before, so I just threw some greek yogurt and a bunch of different kinds of cheese into a cup and microwaved it, then added milk to thin.  Then I added some cooked up ground beef.  It was DELICIOUS. 

I was mostly eyeballing it, but here was the basic recipe:

1/4 cup greek yogurt

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (mine is 2%)

1/8 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (mine is fat free)

2 tablespoon grated parmesan

1 wedge chipolte laughing cow

1/4 cup soy milk

I added 1/2 of this to 4oz of ground beef that I'd cooked up, and then ate half of that as a serving.  The recipe maker in my phone says it was 165 calories and 19 grams of protein.  Protein bomb!! :D

Sounds good.   I enjoy making my own tomato sauce and meatballs and then melting cheese on it for a pasta-less italian.  Sorta the same idea.
