TIPS AND TRICKS

PROTEIN: If hamburger isn’t your jam, swap it out with chicken, turkey or big chunks of roast.

VEGGIES: Try hiding a few veggies in the mix. You could add baby spinach, or little chunks of zucchini.

SAUCE: To jazz it up a little, add a cup of alfredo sauce to your marinara, to give it a creamier texture.

STORAGE: This will keep up to 3 to4 days in the fridge, if covered tightly. You can also freeze it up to 3 months.
