Cheeseburger Pasta

[Vagus]

My neighbour was making this yesterday, it’s apparently a slimming world recipe. I thought it sounded very unappetising but when I looked up the recipe it didn’t actually sound too bad, just a bit of a faff to make. You can find the recipe online if you’re interested.
Anyone familiar with it? What was it like, would you recommend it?

Absolutely love it - well worth the effort.

It doesn't seem any more of a faff than making spag bol, shepherd's pie or chili con carne, seems easy enough.
I'd give it a go, minus the spray oil (I always soften the onions and garlic in a saucepan over a low heat, no oil, then chuck the mince in, whack the heat up to brown it and drain most of the fat off before adding the other ingredients. I refuse to use artificial sweetener and spray oil)

I don't eat pasta, but I've done a cheeseburger casserole that was pretty good.
I saw a layered breakfast burger casserole on Australian celebrity Masterchef yesterday that looked gorgeous.

I'll stick to my sirloin beef salad with a home-made dressing, this evening, thank-you.

Well, a faff to me is using more than one pan ;)
It was the layering up, then grilling, then more layering up and more grilling. I like chucking everything in together.
Right ho then, Maggie, I might give it a go, do you think it would work with quorn mince, we try not to eat red meat?

Barry, if you look up slimming world cheeseburger pasta bake, that’s the one I mean. There are a few others but not slimming world ones.

This is the recipe I read https://www.slimmingworld.co.uk/recipes/cheeseburger-pasta-bake

Yep, that’s the one Barry…using a pan for the pasta, another for frying the beef and onions, layering it, grilling for 7 minutes, more layers, more grilling, a topping of cheese and more grilling. To me, that’s too much faffing unless it’s really, really worth the effort, these days I can’t /won’t stand around in the kitchen doing that.
I may just give it a go though.
