    Beef Stroganoff (9 Points)


    1 1/2 lb. beef, trimmed -- * see note

    1 c chopped onion

    8 oz. sliced mushrooms

    1 tbs. Dijon mustard

    2 tsp. dried parsley

    1/2 tsp. salt

    1/2 tsp. dill -- dried

    1/4 tsp. pepper

    1 clove garlic -- minced

    1/2 c all-purpose flour -- * see note

    1 can fat-free beef broth -- * see note

    3/4 c lowfat sour cream

    6 c egg noodles, Barilla -- cooked, * see note



    Trim fat from steak. Wrap steak in heavy-duty plastic wrap; freeze 30 minutes. Unwrap steak; cut steak diagonally across grain into 1/8-inch thick slices. Place steak, onion, and next 7 ingredients in a 3-quart electric slow cooker. Combine flour and broth in a bowl; stir with a whisk until blended.



    Add broth mixture to cooker; stir well. Cover; cook on low-heat setting for 8 hours or until tender. Turn slow cooker off; remove lid. Let stand 10 minutes. Stir in sour cream. Serve stroganoff over noodles.



    Notes: Had 1 1/2 lbs. of extra lean stew beef in cubes and used it just as it was). To make up for the extra beef I increased the broth to use the whole can (was 1 cup), and the flour (was 1/3 cup).

    And, because the extra beef gave me additional servings, I increased the noodle amount to give me the right nutritional analysis.



    Per serving: 436 Calories; 8g Fat; 38g Protein; 53g Carbohydrate; 133mg Cholesterol; 409mg Sodium

    NOTES : 9 WW points

    This is a modified version of stuffed bell peppers I made up. Family loved it!

    Stuff green peppers with the following ingredients. This was enough to stuff 3 large bell pepers, if you want to make more, you can double the batch but may need to do 2 crockpots.

    1 lb of 93% lean ground turkey
    1 small onion diced
    few shakes of Lawry's seasoned salt
    1c brown rice
    Mix together

    Stuff bell peppers and let cook in 1 can of reduced fat cream of mushrom soup and 1 packet of Lipton French Onion soup mix.

    I actually cooked them on low for about 4 hours and then took a large spoon to them and broke them up so it was more of a stew almost. Topped with low fat cheddar cheese. SO GOOD!

    One more--This is a healthy version of Mexican Carnitas.

    3 lb lean pork loin
    1/2 small onion
    1 tbsp minced garlic
    Goya Adobo seasoning to taste
    3 tbsp salsa
    1 jalapeno, stem cut off (optional, this WILL give it some heat)
    Juice from 1 grapefruit
    Juice from 2 oranges
    Juice from 2 limes
    Salt
    Pepper
    1.5 c water


    Put all in crockpot on low, cook for 6-8 hours.

    The meat will fall apart and is SO good. We put the meat in low carb tortillas with some low fat cheese and sour cream and some lime juice. This would also be great as a soup bc of the yummy flavor of the broth once it's cooked. To eat as a stew/soup, just add some corn, some diced tomatoes with chiles and some black beans when you throw it in the crockpot. Even my kiddos loved this.

    Toss 3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts in with about 1/2 bottle of your fav BBQ sauce. Cook on low 4-5 hours. Shred up chicken and serve on a whole wheat bun or on sandwich thins to cut calories.

    Put boneless, skinless chicken breasts in cooker, pour black bean salsa on top. I use Great Value brand from Walmart but it's high in sodium so if you're watching that, use your own homemade salsa. Shred when cooked and use for tacos, quesadillas, salads, whatever you can think of. :)

    Beef Stew
    Ingredients

    1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced
    2 medium carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
    2 large potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
    1 to 1 1/2 cups peeled and diced turnip
    1 cup fresh green beans, in bite-size pieces
    1 pound beef stew-meat chunks
    1 bay leaf
    1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
    1 clove garlic, crushed
    3 cups low-sodium beef stock
    2 tablespoons light brown sugar
    3/4 teaspoon salt
    2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
    Pepper to taste
    3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    2 teaspoons tomato paste

    Instructions
    1. Put everything but the flour and the tomato paste in a slow cooker; stir to combine.
    2. Cover and cook on the low setting for 8 to 9 hours or on high for 4 to 5, until the beef is tender and the potatoes are just fork tender.
    3. Stir the stew once or twice as it cooks, if possible. About 30 minutes before serving, transfer a ladleful of the broth to a small mixing bowl.
    4. Add the flour and tomato paste and whisk until smooth. Stir the mixture into the stew and cook for the remaining half hour. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

    I have found many really easy and interesting ideas for slow cooker on that blog.

    But my all time (and kids favorite) is steel cut oats ready when you wake up in the morning!
