I've been eatting tuna sandwhiches for the past 3 nights:noway: too scared to try anything else. I'm just getting comfortable in the kitchen and I don't want to try something so dreadfully hard I stop cooking all together :laugh: I'm dying for something else but I don't have alot of time to stand over the stove. my lo in the evening is very demanding.

Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated :smile:

    Easy! Easy! Easy! LOL!

    Here is my favorite! (And my boyfriends too!)

    Betsy's Chicken Pot Pie

    1 roll reduced fat crescent rolls
    10 oz rotisserie chicken (I had this in the freezer)
    1 bag frozen mixed vegetables
    2 small cans reduced fat cream of chicken soup
    1 potato (I diced and cooked this the night before in salted boiling water)
    1 tablespoon onion powder
    Garlic Powder - to taste
    Mrs. Dash Table Blend - to taste - optional
    Salt and Pepper - to taste

    In a 9X12 baking dish, mix the chicken, vegetables, potato, seasonings and soup. On a large cutting board unroll the crescent rolls into one large sheet (I find using a pastry roller is the easiest way). Place the cresecent roll sheet on top of the chicken mixture. Spray with butter flavored cooking spray. Bake for ~45 min on 350 degrees. (or until the top is golden brown) ENJOY!

    My blog has pictures and some other options to do with this if you are interested! tactfullysouthern.blogspot.com

    Good Luck! I LOVE Casseroles!

    This sounds great!!! How many calories is it?

    envyme75 - not sure on the calories...i haven't made it since being active on MFP. I used to do WW and it was a very point friendly casserole. You can also use 1 cup of reduced fat-low fat sour cream instead of one of the cans of soup to lower sodium calories!

    JayTee - Gosh...I HATE tuna! I am shocked more people didn't respond. I grew up eating casseroles! I have a recipe for a broccoli and rice casserole that is a tasty side too if you want that!

    I love skinny taste recipes and they tend to be pretty simple.

    Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Casserole - Makes 8 servings

    2 cups water
    2 cups uncooked instant brown rice
    2 (10 ounce) cans chunk chicken, drained ( or chopped up baked chicken)
    1 (10.75 ounce) fat free low sodium can condensed cream of mushroom soup
    1 (10.75 ounce) fat free low sodium can condensed cream of chicken soup
    1/4 cup butter
    1 cup skim or 1% milk
    1 (16 ounce) package frozen chopped broccoli
    1 small white onion, chopped
    1 pound Velveeta 2% reduced fat cheese (the block)

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

    Make rice according to package directions.

    In a 9x13 inch baking dish, mix the prepared rice, chicken, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, butter, milk, broccoli, onion, and processed cheese.


    Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Stir halfway through cooking to help cheese melt evenly.

    This is VERY good, even with the healthier choices (the skim milk, 2% Velveeta, brown rice, cream soups) :)

    Made this last night.....super easy and tasty! The hardest part is cutting up all the cabbage, but well worth it!!

    Kalyn's Stuffed Cabbage Casserole

    Recipe slightly modified from Kalyn's Kitchen

    Skinnytaste.com

    Servings: 10 • Serving Size: 1/10th with cheese • Old Points: 5 pts • Points+: 7 pts
    Calories: 250.9 • Fat: 11.3 g • Protein: 16.9 g • Carb: 23.8 g • Fiber: 5.5 g • Sugar: 2 g
    Sodium: 459 mg (without salt)

    Without Cheese: • Old Points: 4 pts • Points+: 5 pts
    Calories: 194.9 • Fat: 7.7 g • Protein: 10.5 g • Carb: 23 g • Fiber: 5.5 g • Sugar: 2 g
    Sodium: 291.2 mg (without salt)

    Ingredients:
    2 tsp olive oil, divided
    1 lb. 95% lean ground beef
    1 large onion, chopped fine
    1 tbsp finely minced garlic
    1/2 tsp. dried thyme
    1 tsp sweet Hungarian Paprika
    salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
    1 1/2 heads green cabbage, coarsely chopped
    1 can (14.5 oz.) petite dice tomatoes with juice
    1 can (15 oz.) tomato sauce
    1/4 cup water
    2 cups cooked brown rice
    2 cups low-fat mozzarella cheese (Sargento)

    Instructions:
    Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a large glass casserole dish with non-stick spray. (My dish was 13" x 10")
    Heat a large frying pan on medium heat; add ground beef and cook until it's browned and cooked through,
    breaking it apart as it cooks. Remove ground beef and set aside.
    In the same pan, add 1 tsp olive oil, chopped onion and cook over medium heat until the onion is
    translucent and starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic, dried thyme, and paprika and
    cook about 2 minutes more. Then add the diced tomatoes with juice, tomato sauce, and ground beef. Add
    water to the pan. Simmer until it's hot and slightly thickened, about 15-20 minutes.
    While it simmers, cut cabbage in half, cut out the core, and remove any wilted outer leaves; chop the
    cabbage coarsely into 1 inch pieces.
    Heat remaining olive oil in a large frying pan or dutch oven; add the cabbage and cook over medium-high
    heat until the cabbage is wilted and about half cooked, turning it over several times so it all wilts and cooks.
    Season with salt and fresh-ground black pepper.
    When the meat and tomato sauce mixture has cooked and thickened a bit, stir in the 2 cups of cooked rice
    and gently combine.
    Spray casserole dish with non-stick spray and the layer half the cabbage, half the meat mixture, remaining
    cabbage, and remaining meat mixture. Cover tightly with foil and bake 40 minutes, or until the mixture is just
    starting to bubble on the edges.
    Remove foil and sprinkle on cheese (if using.) Bake uncovered an additional 20 minutes, or until the
    cheese is melted and starting to slightly brown. Serve hot.
    Freezer friendly if you have leftovers. To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and then either microwave
    until hot or heat in the oven in a glass dish covered with foil.

    1 8 oz Fat free cool whip (i get fat free/sugar free)
    1/2 cup of peanut butter any kind :) I use a cup sometimes lol :) or replace it with nutella
    Sugar free chocolate syrup

    Let the cool whip get to room tempature then mix in the peanut butter and set in cup cake pan with wrappers and then if your using banana's you can put a few slices on the top then drizzle with the sugar free chocolate syrup and freeze for a couple hours and BAM!!! LOL :) u have a great treat! Also great served in a low fat pie crust!!

    I actually made these tonight & they are AWESOME!!! I am a math geek & took the time to figure out exactly how many calories etc were in them..
    I used 1L tub of low fat cool whip, 3/4 cup kraft reg. p-butter, and 1 tbsp of Smuckers chololate syrup on each...
    EACH have: 96.97 cal, 4.87g fat, 5.71g sugar, 29.70mg sodium... all of which can be reduced if u use low fat p-butter!
  • I really liked this mexican casserole, and it was super simple!
