cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

bacon

💰Cheaper: smoked turkey

macaroni

🥗Healthier: whole grain pasta

💰Cheaper: elbow pasta

Whole grain pasta increases fiber content.

Gather all ingredients: potatoes, macaroni, onions, garlic, bacon, cream cheese, salt, black pepper, and cheese.

Cook bacon in a skillet without oil until crispy.

Add two diced onions and a little bit of garlic to the skillet with the bacon and sauté until translucent.

Add macaroni to the skillet and stir to combine with the bacon, onions, and garlic.

Pour in cream cheese and mix until well combined, waiting for the cream to thicken and reduce.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting as necessary.

Add half of the cheese into the mixture and stir well.

Let the mixture cook for an additional 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
