Bulking High Calorie Meal Prep!!!

Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground Beef (80% lean, fresh)
• 4 cups Water (for boiling pasta and meat)
• 8 oz Elbow Macaroni (or any short pasta, uncooked)
• 1 packet Chili Con Carne Seasoning Mix (approximately 55 g, store‑bought)
• 2 cups Frozen Mixed Greens (spinach, kale or blend, thawed)
• 1 tsp Salt (to season the pasta water)

Instructions

1. Boil Water

   Fill the large pot with 4 cups of water, place a lid on, and bring to a rolling boil over high heat.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 100°C

2. Cook the Mince

   Add the ground beef to the boiling water, breaking it up with a wooden spoon so it cooks evenly. Stir constantly until the meat is fully browned and no pink remains.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 100°C

3. Add Pasta and Salt

   Stir in the elbow macaroni and sprinkle 1 tsp of salt. Cook according to the package directions, usually 8–10 minutes, until al dente.

   Time: PT8M

   Temperature: 100°C

4. Season the Dish

   Sprinkle the chili con carne seasoning mix over the pot and stir thoroughly so the flavor coats the meat and pasta.

   Time: PT1M

5. Add Frozen Greens

   Add the frozen mixed greens, stirring gently. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until the greens are heated through and wilted.

   Time: PT3M

   Temperature: 100°C

6. Drain the Pasta

   Place the strainer in the sink and carefully pour the contents of the pot through it to remove excess water. Return the drained mixture to the pot for a brief minute to let any remaining moisture evaporate.

   Time: PT2M

7. Portion into Containers

   Divide the chili con carne pasta evenly among the parchment‑lined meal prep containers. Allow to cool slightly before sealing.

   Time: PT5M
