mac and veggie cheeseburger no-bake casserole

a little something i came up with that isn't based on a bistro entree, but turned out so fabulous i thought i'd share. i read about fibergourmet on hungrygirl.com and tried some with morningstar farms burger crumbles, shredded 2% cheddar, and hot sauce. whoa nelly did that work well, and it made a huge pile of food!

make a box of fibergourmet mac and cheese with skim milk (you can find it here - http://www.fibergourmet.com/ - there's a store near me that sells it, but it turns out it's cheaper to order online, even with the shipping fees. more shipping, less shopping, i say!) add a bag of the veggie crumbles, and 3 oz 2% shredded cheddar. dump into a bowl, mix, and portion into baggies. this'll give you three portions, which work out to around 300 grams or so. i ordered a ton more so i can make this by the dozen. el nino loved it too.

here's the stats:

cals - 361
fat - 4 g
carb - 62 g
fiber - 24 g (holy colon blow!)
protein - 38 g
sodium - 836 mg

the sodium count will increase depending on how much hot sauce you use, unless you make a no-salt added hot sauce yourself. i have in the past, and they can be wonderful but would be a pain in the ass at this point in my life.
