Meal Prep : 10/8/18

White Bean Mac n Cheese

1 lb shell pasta

2 cups navy beans

2 bags frozen peas

1 head of cabbage

1/4 sweet onion

butter, cream cheese, milk, shredded cheese, sliced cheese, flour

I didn't intend for this meal to be vegetarian, but a) I forgot to add the tuna, and b) the mac and cheese is so full of beans it probably doesn't need any more protein.  

Cook pasta and beans each according to the directions on their packaging.  Saute onion until beginning to brown, then add peas and cook until done.  Add garlic powder if desired.  Chop cabbage and saute in olive oil on high heat until cooked through and beginning to crisp.  Add garlic powder if desired.  

For the cheese sauce, heat a few tablespoons each of butter and cream cheese in a saucepan with about 1 cup of milk.  Add 1/4 c flour and 1-2 cups of shredded cheese.  Stir frequently, cook until everything is melted.  Combine with beans and pasta, transfer to a baking dish, cover with slices of cheese, and bake at 375 for 35 minutes.  

Each meal was 1/2 c each of peas and cabbage, and a large spoonful of mac n cheese.
