any good ground beef recipes?

American chop suey!!

My mom's version (which I am obviously partial to) needs:
2 cans of tomato sauce (the big guys)
1 can of whole peeled tomatoes (also a big guy)
1 green pepper
1 small onion
1 clove garlic
liberal doses of parsley, basil, and oregano
1-2lbs ground beef, lean as you can find

In a large sauce pan, empty all the cans- you may want to mush up the whole tomatoes, or you can leave them whole, totally up to you. Toss in the garlic and spices (don't be shy with those, either). Dice your pepper & onion, in they go. In a separate skillet, brown your meat. When it's cooked to your liking, strain off any fat- I let mine sit in a colander for a couple minutes and then squeeze through as much fat as I can. When your satisfied with your beef, that goes into the pot. Leave the heat on the loser side of medium, let sit for as many hours as you like, stir occasionally.

Now, depending on how much meat you use, this can literally be eaten like a stew. I recommend a little pasta, preferably elbows, because hey, that's what my mom used. Also, she likes to throw a fairly liberal dose of grated parm cheese in there, but I've been leaving it out and just adding a little to my plate. Enjoy!

BUMP!

Weight Watchers Cheesy Chili-Mac: http://www.weightwatchers.com/food/rcp/RecipePage.aspx?recipeId=95081

It is in the MFP database. I used the Barilla plus elbow macaroni to add some more fiber.

thanks for sharing

I make impossibly easy cheeseburger pie also. I use the heart healthy bisquik and use skim milk and lowfat mozz.. I like to add veggies but the recipe is 1/2 cup bisquik 1 cup milk, 2 eggs, 1 onion, 1 lb ground beef, 1 cup cheddar cheese. Brown the beef and onion, drain and rinse. Place in pie pan, 8x8 casserole dish-whatever.. Spread cheese on top of the meat and pour the other ingredients (mixed in a separate bowl) on top of the whole thing. Bake at 400f for 30-35 min. I made this today. Less than 250cal per serving.

Zuccini Boats

Slice about 6 zuccini in half
Hollow out the halves of zuccini
brown your ground beef and add pasta sauce
Fill each zuccini boat with meat and sauce
Top with light cheese of your choice
Cover dish with foil
Bake at 425 for about 45 minutes.

They come out nice and soft and yummy. My eleven year old son loves these and they make great left overs for lunch !

mmmm

They're really great! I love putting the cored portion of the zucchini into the browning ground beef along with some extra veggies. It's a great fridge cleaner.

Bump!
