One Pot Meal: Smokey Mac & Cheese Pasta
“This post is sponsored by One Pot Meals and Lunch Box. All views expressed are that of our own.”
Who doesn’t love an easy but tasty meal? I know I tend to make meals for my family that are easy, tasty, and fairly quick to make. With three kids, a hectic work schedule, and a household to run I just do not have time for meals that require a million steps. That is why I love to make One Pot Meals that feature easy ingredients, and less clean-up.
The folks at Knorr® and Walmart have teamed up to create dinner inspiration for every night of the week. Simply visit the Easy Knorr® One-Pot Meals at Walmart site to get cooking! I love that their meals are super quick to prepare, and they do not make a sink full of dishes. Just a few steps, and short cuts create warm, delicious meals that are jam-packed with flavor.
Since my three kids love pasta and pretty much any kind of cheese, I decided to recreate the Knorr® Smokey Mac & Cheese Pasta. This recipe is really amazing because it features chicken, bacon, Knorr® Past Sides™, and green peas. It takes less than 30 minutes to prep and cook which is amazing for this busy mama!
Here are the ingredients I used for this Smokey Mac & Cheese Pasta which slightly vary from the original:
- 3 slices bacon, chopped, about 2 oz.
- 1 1/2 cups frozen green peas
- 1 package Knorr® Pasta Sides™ – Alfredo
- 2 cups cut-up pre-grilled chicken breast
The directions are really simple and can be found on Easy Knorr® One-Pot Meals at Walmart <======== site.
I have to say, this dish was a hit, and one that I will soon be making again! I love that I have so many dinner time options available for the upcoming fall months that are easy peasy thanks to the Easy Knorr® One-Pot Meals at Walmart site.
You can find this recipe, and all of the Easy Knorr® One-Pot Meals at Walmart HERE. 
Which recipe will you be trying with your family this fall?
