    Taco Bake
    Slightly adapted from Rosalu from the Medifast Forums


    Ingredients:
    Crust
    8 tbsp or 1/2 cup reduced fat cream cheese, softened (8 Condiments)
    1/4 cup egg beaters (0.125 Lean)
    5 tbsp Fat free half and half (5 Condiments)
    1/2 teaspoon taco seasoning (.25 Condiment)
    8 ounces low fat Mexican cheese blend, shredded (2 Lean)


    Topping
    24.37 ounces 93% fat free Jennie-O ground turkey, cooked (4.875 Lean)
    4 teaspoons taco seasoning (2 Condiments)
    1 cup tomato puree - tomatoes chopped then pureed to equal 1 cup (4 Greens)
    4 ounces chopped green chilies (8 Condiments)
    4 ounces Mexican cheese blend, shredded (1 Lean)


    Directions:
    For the crust, beat the cream cheese and eggs until smooth. Add the cream and seasoning. Grease a 9"x13" baking dish; spread the cheese over the bottom. Pour in the egg mixture as evenly as possible. Bake at 375ºF, 25-30 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before adding the topping.
    For the topping, brown the hamburger; drain fat. Stir in the seasoning, tomato sauce and chilies. Spread over the crust. Top with cheese. Reduce oven to 350ºF and bake another 20 minutes or so until hot and bubbly.

    Serve with your favorite veggies!

    8 servings with 1 Lean, 3 Condiments, and 1/2 Green per serving (You will need 2 1/2 more greens per serving)

    I like to have:

    -any protein I enjoy grilled (ie. salmon, chicken, etc) with veggies

    -meatballs with spaghetti squash & salad or other veggies

    -taco beef or turkey over salad

    -tuna salad over lettuce

    -steak and mushrooms, salad, green beans, etc

    -proteins with mashed cauliflower (tonight I'm having chicken w/ it and other veggies)

    -pepper steak w/ cauliflower rice

    etc! I'll try to think of more. I'm excited to see if some people have more ideas!

    Sandy's site has great recipes. I like the one for really lean ground beef and cabbage.
  • I just found Sandy's site through pinterest today. Can't wait to try some of her recipes. I really want to try the shrimp fried "rice"...

    Sandy is awesome and I love the creativity on that site!

    That being said, I live and die for that cauliflower pizza. I make it per one of the simple instructions (just cauliflower, eggbeaters, and cheese). I am so glad I didn't have to give up pizza! My friends and family think I am crazy every time I go on about how awesome it is.
  • Thanks for the website suggestion. Will definitely try some of these out. Also, I didn't even think about mixing and matching your lean proteins in a meal. That definitely opens up more options.
