1lb. Ground sirloin....what to make for dinner?

It is a blah rainy day here, so if it were me I would make chili or a vegtable beef soup

Chilli is a great and healthy option. Add lots of carrots celery and beans. Make sure to add lots of spices and you will enjoy a big batch of chilli for a few days. Its what I make during a busy week, because its delicious and healthy!

Loaded Potato Skins!

I used the Calorie count for the T.G.I. Fridays Potatoe Skins and they are around 200 a piece and Loaded potato skins are FILLING.

Ingredients I use :
Baked Potatoe ( hollowed out )
Ground Beef, seasoned with Low Sodium Lowry's
Chopped up Bacon (pretty small so they are more of a topping)
Green Onion
Finely shredded cheese over the top.

After you hollow out the potato, coat the inside of it with a mix of EVOO, Chili Powder, and Garlic Powder...put the ingredients into the potatoe ( I do not make them ''heaping'' ) and toss back into the oven for 10 minues.

They are heavy...I think of them as comfort food, and you can have 2 for only 400 calories. NOM. Only downside...they take a good hour and a half to make due to the time to Bake the potatoes

I don't know what your go-tos are but my family loves meatloaf. I make it in muffin tins so that portion control is easier & use ground oats instead of breadcrumbs for the added fiber.

I would go with chili. You can make a huge pot (add lots of beans and tomatoes) and have leftovers to put in the freezer. You can also hide a ton of vegetables in it (carrots, celery, onions...). Yum.

taco soup! Add some taco seasoning, onions, and bell peppers to ground beef. Then add water, corn, tomatoes with green chilies, and your choice of beans. Serve with whole grain cheese quesadillas or top with cheese and serve with whole grain tortilla chips. Can also add a dollop of light sour cream, or I add some ranch powder to give it that "cool" flavor with less fat than sour cream. Change it up however you like. :-)

Im craving meatloaf. This is my favorite and will be prepared this weekend- http://allrecipes.com/recipe/italian-style-meatloaf-ii/detail.aspx?event8=1&prop24=SR_Title&e11=meatloaf&e8=Quick Search&event10=1&e7=Recipe Hub

i like mine cooked down with garlic, mushrooms, and onions, and then tossed with tofu shirataki noodles and a couple laughing cow spreadable cheese wedges. it comes together like a beef stroganoff but with VERY VERY low calories.

Taco's, loaded with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, salsa and just a sprinkle of cheese. I made a huge pot of vegetarian chili the other night.

Get a green bell pepper, tomato, and onion. Chop them up and cook with the sirloin, add a can of Manwich and you have the perfect comfort food!!! I'll just put some in a bowl and skip the whole bun thing.

dang, now I want a bowl of chili.

Try this.

brown your ground beef with simple seasoning like a pinch of salt and pepper, if you like spicy, add red pepper flakes.

Get a spaghetti squash (should be in stores now) cut it in half (long ways) and fill a casserole dish with water and place each half meat side down in about 3/4 inch deep of water.

Microwave for 12 minutes. take it out and fork out the meat of the squash.

Take your favorite spaghetti sauce out and heat up.

Spaghetti squash and meatballs and sauce. It's a delicious comfort food and healthy to boot!:happy:

Enjoy!
