Zuccini Boats

Slice about 6 zuccini in half
Hollow out the halves of zuccini
brown your ground beef and add pasta sauce
Fill each zuccini boat with meat and sauce
Top with light cheese of your choice
Cover dish with foil
Bake at 425 for about 45 minutes.

They come out nice and soft and yummy. My eleven year old son loves these and they make great left overs for lunch !

You can replace ground beef with ground turkey in most things without a huge taste difference, and it's pretty good for ya too! Where I live, there isn't much of a cost difference but I'd imagine that varies by area.

Stuffed Pepper Soup from Cooking Light

1/2 pound ground round 2 cups chopped green bell pepper 1 cup chopped onion 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1 (14-ounce) can less-sodium beef broth 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained 1 (10 3/4-ounce) can tomato soup, undiluted 1 1/2 cups hot cooked white rice

Heat a small Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add beef; cook 3 minutes or until browned, stirring to crumble. Add chopped green bell pepper and onion; cook 8 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Stir in black pepper, less-sodium beef broth, diced tomatoes, and tomato soup; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 45 minutes.
Spoon 1/4 cup hot cooked white rice into each of 6 bowls; top with 1 cup soup.

*Variations: for tomato soup I use Amy's or Progresso - Campbell's is super sweet (yuck). I also like to add some basil. You can use brown rice. Red & green pepper combo is nice.

The absolute BEST Shephers Pie you've had!!! (Oh, and I sometimes use 93% or higher fat free ground beef).

8 medium uncooked red potatoes, peeled and quartered
5 tsp olive oil, divided
1/4 cup(s) fat-free evaporated milk
3/4 cup(s) shredded fat-free mozzarella cheese, divided
1/8 tsp table salt, or more to taste
1/8 tsp black pepper, or more to taste
1/2 cup(s) (chopped) uncooked onion(s), chopped
12 oz uncooked ground turkey breast
2 cup(s) uncooked zucchini, or yellow summer squash, sliced
14 1/2 oz canned tomatoes, chunky pasta-style, undrained
6 oz canned tomato paste
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 spray(s) cooking spray

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 375°F.

Place potatoes in a large pot and fill with just enough water to cover potatoes. Boil until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain potatoes and place back in pot. Add 2 teaspoons of oil, milk, 1/4 cup of cheese and salt and pepper to taste. Mash until fluffy; set aside.

Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add remaining tablespoon of oil and heat until it shimmers. Add onion and turkey, and cook until meat is no longer pink, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes; drain off any fat. Stir in zucchini or squash, undrained tomatoes, tomato paste and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper; bring to a boil.

Coat an 8 1/2- X 11-inch baking dish with cooking spray; fill with turkey mixture. Spread potato mixture on top of turkey mixture, covering it completely. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup of cheese and bake until potato mixture is golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing into 8 pieces.

We usually get our meat processed at a local butcher, so we always tell them to do it completely lean. That helps so much to lower the fat! I like to do lettuce wrap "tacos" make sure you watch the sodium though, because the seasoning is usually really high. I like fat free sour cream and tomatoes on mine. I use part skim mozzarella or pepper jack if I have the calories. It's only about 125 cal for each one this way.

Make sure you RINSE your meat when you can to get rid of as much grease as you can, ESP if you can't get lean beef!

Read the labels, always. I was very surprised at how high in fat some ground turkey can be. Your leanest "ground" beef is called ground sirloin or next rung down is ground round.

I love making cheeseburger pizza.
Instead of pizza sauce, mix some ketchup and mustard together and sauce the pizza that way. Sprinkle browned ground beef over it, along with diced onions, chopped dill pickles, then add mozzerella and cheddar cheese. Depending on what cheese and crust you use, it's not bad. (if you don't count sodium, that is ;-)

You can also make taco pizza.

Er, can you tell I like pizza? LOL

I like making my own homemade burgers! You can put things you like in the meat (i love adding jalapenos, cheese, bacon bits, garlic, etc.), form the patty, and cook it!

I eat them with whole wheat flatbread and they're fantastic!
