    I like to put it in a pita with Tatziki (?), cucumbers (and other veggies, whatever you like), tomatoes and cheese ummmmm, very tasty. I also make homemade spaghetti with whole grain noodles and diced tomatoes, also very yummy.
    Good luck :flowerforyou:

    Mmmm, meatloaf sounds good. We rarely have that. But, tacos or something like goulash would be good. Chili is always good but I like mine to cook for awhile.

    Now that I mention it - goulash may be what we'll have tonight.

    Yield: 6 Servings
    Ingredients
    1 lb Ground beef
    12 oz Chunky salsa (1 jar)
    1 c Sweet corn
    3/4 c Miracle Whip(R
    ) 1 tb Chili powder
    2 c Tortilla chips (crushed)
    2 c Colby/Monterey Jack cheese

    Instructions Heat oven to 350F. Brown meat; drain. Stir in salsa, corn, Miracle Whip(R) and chili powder. Layer 1/2 meat mixture, chips and cheese in 2-quart casserole. Repeat layers. Bake 20 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Top with shredded lettuce and chopped tomato, if desired.

    I just found this online, I think if I used Fat Free miricle whip and low fat cheese it wouldn't be that bad...

    Use the regular fat cheese. When you take the fat out of dairy it loses a lot of its nutritional value. The difference in the fat isn't that much between the two to worry about it. But it does sound good!!!
