Here is an email I just sent last week to someone on MFP. Really you can take about any recipe & make it healthier just by adjusting the ingredients. IAdd a vegetable if needed or a salad for a meal.
The third recipe is higher, but for 355 calories, you get a good dinner that the men in my family adore. You can also leave out the tortilla and just eat it on lettuce for a "taco salad" (subtract 130 calories). Instead of the taco seasoning, I personally use my own salt-free spice mix (I forgot to bring that recipe with me to work today) because we try to watch our salt intake. Hope you enjoy them.
Slow Cooker Chicken
Serves 4
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 can Campbell’s golden mushroom soup
1 T Worchestershire sauce
1/3 cup fat-free chicken broth
½ tsp dried thyme
½ tsp black pepper
2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed*
*canned or frozen may be used; canned will get a little mushy, frozen will make it a
bit watery. Adding the green beans during the 30-45 minutes of cooking will also help
with the “mush-factor”.
Wisk together soup, Worchestershire, chicken broth, thyme & pepper. Put chicken & green beans in the bottom of the crockpot. Pour soup mixture over the chicken. Cover & cook on high 3-4 hours or on low 6-7 hours.
You may use any chicken parts – thighs, drumsticks – but the calories, etc will be slightly higher.

Chicken Noodle Soup
Serves 12 (1 cup each)
12 baby carrots, cut into ½” pieces
4 celery ribs, cut into ½” pieces
¾ cup chopped onion
1 T minced fresh parsley
½ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
1-1/2 tsp mustard seed
2 garlic cloves, peeled & halved
1-1/4 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1-1/4 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
4 cans (14-1/2 oz) fat-free chicken broth
8 oz small whole wheat pasta
Combine the first 6 ingredients. Place mustard seed & garlic cloves on a double thickness of cheesecloth; bring up the corners & tie with string to form a bag (I’ve used a loose tea strainer for this). Place in slow cooker. Add chicken broth. Cover & cook on low for 5-6 hours.
Remove & discard spice bag. Remove chicken; cool slightly. Stir in pasta; cover & cook for 30 minutes or until tender. Cut chicken into small pieces & return to soup. Heat through.

Steak Burritos
Serves 10
2 lbs chuck roast (remove as much fat as possible)
2 envelopes taco seasoning mix
1 medium onion
1 can (4 oz) chopped green chilies
1 T white vinegar
10 whole wheat tortillas (I use Mission whole wheat – 130 cal each)
1-1/2 c diced tomatoes
1 c shredded Colby-jack cheese
Coast crockpot with nonstick cooking spray or use bag insert. Put roast in crockpot. Sprinkle all over with the taco seasoning. Top with onion, chilies & vinegar. Cover & cook on low for 8-9 hours.
Scrape onions from top of meat. Remove meat from crockpot and cool slightly. Shred meat with two forks (I usually have to use my fingers, too). Return to slow cooker & stir thoroughly; heat through. Spoon approx ½ c meat mixture down the center of each tortilla. Top with cheese & tomato & fold up tortilla.
The tortilla is included in the nutritional counts below. Additional taco toppings such as sour cream would need added to the counts.

Corn beef and cabbage with potatoes
Place corn beef in crock pot
Cover with beer. (Killians Red has nice flavor)
add potatoes and cabbage 2 hours before serving.
The alcohol will evaporate leaving the beer flavor in the meat and potatoes. My kids and wife love this meal and it couldn't be any easier.
Can I just check if in UK 'corn beef' means same as in US ? Corned Beef would be in a tin. Is that what you mean ?0 -
Bump it!!!

Corned beef comes packaged in plastic with peppercorns. You are right in that it comes in tins as well, but here, the recipe is calling for fresh meat from the meat counter.0 -
