I use the splenda brown sugar. You can cook it all the night before and throw the cooked brown rice in there before you heat it up again for the pot luck.

Baked Beef and Brown Rice


Ingredients
•1 1/2 cup cooked brown rice
•1 large onion, sliced
•4 medium carrots, grated
•1 small head cauliflower (sliced/chopped)
•1 pound lean ground beef (uncooked)
•1 medium green pepper, diced
•2 teaspoons salt
•2 cups tomato tomato sauce
•2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
•1/2 teaspoon dried basil
•1 cup shredded cheese of choice (I used a 4 cheese blend with 80 cals per 1/2 cup)


Directions
•In a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish, layer rice, onion, carrots, cauliflower
beef and green pepper. Sprinkle with salt. Combine the tomato sauce,
Worcestershire sauce and basil; pour over the top. Sprinkle with
cheese. Cover and bake at 350° for about an 1 hours.

I split this up to 5 servings and it came to 376 cals each. I'm sure you could cook the ground beef first and drain to get rid of some of the fat, just lessen the cook time a bit then.
