When I need a tasty meal that’s quick and tasty, I reach for a package of Knorr Sides.
Yes, you read that correctly… Knorr Sides. Those easy to use products that you enjoy as a side dish are also perfect as a meal starter too! With the addition of a few ingredients you can whip up a delicious meal in a flash. That’s because every package is packed with rice or pasta and lots of tasty seasonings. You simply add in a protein and some veggies and you are in business.
A family favorite is my Easy Italian Casserole. Perfect for any night of the week, this dish is incredibly simple to prepare and is very economical. All you need is a few minutes of prep and a handful of ingredients and you are on your way to amazing flavor!
- 1 package Knorr Italian Sides Four Cheese Pasta
- 1-1/2 cups water
- 1/2 cup lowfat milk
- 1 pound ground pork (or ground beef)
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 14 oz can, diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- Preheat oven to 375º F.
- Prepare the Knorr Italian Sides Four Cheese Pasta with the water and milk per package directions.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook the ground pork until browned.
- Drain any excess fat then add the onion and garlic and cook an addition 2 – 3 minutes, until softened.
- Mix in the canned tomatoes and Italian seasoning and cook for 5 minutes, until most of the liquid has absorbed.
- Add half of the meat mixture to the bottom of an 8″x8″ casserole dish.
- Spread the prepared Knorr Sides over top then top with the remaining meat mixture.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over top.
- Finally, top with the sliced cherry tomatoes.
- Bake uncovered for 20 – 25 minutes, until the cheesy is bubbly and the edges begin to brown.
- Serve and enjoy.
I like to get the Knorr Sides started and once it’s cooking, I start the meat sauce. This way, both finish up around the same time and then I am ready to build the casserole.
Start with a layer of meat sauce followed by the prepared Knorr Italian Sides and then another layer of meat sauce. Next comes a layer of mozzarella cheese and then some fresh tomatoes.
Pop the casserole in the oven and let it bake until bubbly and delicious. Serve with a side salad and some garlic bread for a hearty meal that your family will love!
