Recipes for extra lean ground beef??

BIG MAC CASSEROLE!! the recipe is floating around here some where

Brown it with garlic and paprika, along with some onions, mushrooms, and green peppers. Then simmer it in tomato sauce for about 10 minutes. Add fresh spinach and stir until the spinach is incorporated. I usually pour it over pasta or potatoes, and then add some shredded cheese on top. But you can serve it as you like. It's a delicious mix.

Bump.

Stuffed peppers!

I do an Italian version and a mexican version of these.

I use a whole pepper (red, green or yellow) and stuff them- place standing in baking dish and heat about 350 for about 35-45 mins.

Brown hamburger, onions, seasonings to taste- add whatever you want!

For the Italian, I stuff with diced tomatoes, quinoa (you can keep or skip this), onions, burger, mozzarella cheese, tomato or spaghetti sauce (try low sodium ingredients)

For Mexican I stuff the peppers with burger, onion, black beans, jalapenos, a tiny bit of cheese.

You can really make them however you want! They never fail!

This is one of my favorite recipes!

1 pound lean ground beef
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 carrot, shredded
2 celery stalks, chopped
1/2 tablespoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 pinch ground cinnamon
1 pinch ground cloves
1/4 cup water
1/8 cup red wine
1 cube beef bouillon
2 tablespoons half-and-half
2 potatoes, peeled and sliced

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a casserole dish.

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the beef until evenly brown. Remove beef from skillet, reserving juices, and set aside. Mix in the olive oil, and saute the green pepper, onion, carrot, and celery until tender.

Return beef to the skillet, and season with paprika, salt, black pepper, red pepper, cinnamon, and cloves. Stir in the water and red wine until heated through. Dissolve the beef bouillon cube into the mixture. Remove skillet from heat, and mix in the half-and-half.

Layer the bottom of the prepared casserole dish with enough potato slices to cover. Place the beef and vegetable mixture over the potatoes, and top with remaining potatoes.
Cook, covered, 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the potatoes are tender.

My 3 Alarm Chili:
1 lb lean (I use Laura's) ground beef, browned
1 diced onion
1 diced red bell pepper
2 finely diced jalapeno peppers (EDIT: I remove the seeds-spicy enough as is)
(saute onion and peppers then add to beef)
Add 2 cans tomato sauce (14.5 oz)
1 can diced chili-ready tomatoes
1 can fat free pinto beans
3 TBS chili powder
garlic, black pepper, red pepper flakes oregano suited to taste.
should be 6-8 servings

I eat this with skim cheddar cheese and a dollop nonfat Greek yogurt. Mm. I log a cup at 300 cals.

Anyone have a low-cal recipe for extra lean ground beef that does not have pasta in it?? Please let me know the calorie count if possible. Thanks

Your favorite pasta dish with spaghetti squast substituted for the noodles.
