Well I still had some blue cheese crumbles so I completely made this recipe up hoping for some good results by mixing some of my favorite things together! Lucky for me it came out beautifully! I was inspired by a recipe for Buffalo Chicken Pasta which I liked but found to be a little too saucy for me. I decided to vary it by using blue cheese crumbles instead of dressing, and to use less sour cream and milk. I found this amount of sauce to be perfect because it coated the noodles and soaked into the meat without leaving any sauce in the pot. I like things spicy so you may want to start with 1TB of hot sauce instead of 2 and add it as needed to suit your tastes.Creamy Buffalo Beef Pasta - 3-4 Servings
1/2lb 93% Ground Beef
8oz Dry Pasta
1/4C Daisy's Light Sour Cream
1/4C Milk
1/4C Blue Cheese Crumbles
1-2TB Hot Sauce
Brown beef and drain. Set to the Side. Mix sour cream, milk, blue cheese and hot sauce together and keep to the side. Cook pasta per the instructions on the box and drain, returning pasta to the pot. Add the beef and dressing to the pasta and stir letting the pasta really absorb the sauce and the crumbles melt.
Vegetable Addition: next time I make this I think I will try to add some lightly steamed snap peas, they would provide a nice crisp cooling element to the dish, as well as helping to get in a vegetable serving!

Yay Snap Peas!
ReplyDeleteI saw this recipe on the 100+ WW board a few days ago and was intrigued. I figured I'd make it with chicken instead of ground beef, because that's just what I would prefer, I'm a HUGE buffalo chicken fan, grew up in a family that had chains of buffalo chicken wing restaurants.
ReplyDeleteI scoured the boards tonight for the recipe, couldn't find it anywhere, couldn't remember where I saw it, finally found it, made it, and omg YUM!!
I definitely can't wait to try out other recipes you come up with, and have bookmarked this page for future reference, THANK YOU!
This is good!!!
ReplyDeleteI served mine on top of spaghetti squash and it was lovely. When I browned the beef I added some chopped onion, fresh garlic and chopped stalk of celery. A non fat plain Greek yogurt sub for the sour cream (I was out) worked just fine.
Another one for the list of regular recipes!
Wow, wow, wow! Such a yummy recipe!! This will definitely make it into my regular rotation. Thanks, Jillian!! ♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteI made this with chicken as well and it was yummy. I am going to try it with the beef next time as I love beef and noodles together. I used spiral pasta and it held the sauce really well. I also added some onion and garlic to it while I was cooking the chicken. I added spinach at the end while mixing the sauce and pasta in the pan. It was delicious!
