Fast-Food Cheeseburger Skillet

Now that my son Tommy lives in Arizona, he has to fix his own healthy cheeseburger meals. I keep sending him recipes for his favorite dish that are so simple to fix, it's almost like having Mom cook for your again. (Of course, now that Mom's not handy, he has to do his own dishes . . .)

Serves 4 (1 cup)

8 ounces ground 90% lean turkey or beef
1/2 cup (2.5-ounce jar) sliced mushrooms, undrained
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can Healthy Request Cream of Mushroom Soup
3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded Kraft reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons Heinz Lite Ketchup
1//4 cup Kraft fat-free mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
2 cups hot cooked noodles, rinsed and drained

In a large skillet sprayed with butter-flavored cooking spray, brown meat. Stir in undrained mushrooms and mushroom soup. Add Cheddar cheese. Mix well to combine. Stir in ketchup, mayonnaise, and pickle relish. Continue cooking, stirring often, until Cheddar cheese is melted. Add noodles. Mix well to combine. Lower heat. Continue cooking, stirring often, until mixture is heated through, about 5 minutes.

HINT: 1 3/4 cups uncooked noodles usually cooks to about 2 cups.

Each serving equals:
HE: 2 1/4 Protein, 1 Bread, 1/4 Vegetable, 3/4 Slider, 5 Optional Calories
