Bacon Man has been making us quite a few Weight Watchers recipies lately. But even if you’re not doing the diet, these dishes are pretty damn good and you’d never guess they were “diet food”.
Here are my 2 favs:
CROCKPOT CHEESY CHICKEN SPAGHETTI
16 oz, dry spaghetti, broken in half
1 lb. Velvetta cheese, cubed (you can use the light Velveeta if you prefer)
12.5 oz. can Chicken Breast, drained & flaked
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can Rotel (Hot)
4 oz. can mushrooms, sliced and drained
1/2 cup water
1 small onion , diced
1 small bell pepper, diced
Cook pasta till al ‘dente. Pour all ingredients into a crock pot and stir well. Cook on LOW for 2-3 hours. Stir again before serving. Serves 12 (1 cup each)
MEATLOAF
1/2 Cup lowfat buttermilk
1 egg
4 slices reduced calorie bread, cubed
1 tsp. canola oil
1/2 cup celery, diced
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup carrots, shredded
1/2 cup green pepper, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
19 oz. 90% lean, 10% fat raw ground beef
Salt & Pepper to taste
GLAZE;
6 Tbsp. ketchup
5 tsp. light brown sugar, packed
1 tsp. dry mustard
In a small bowl, mix buttermilk and egg. Add bread cubes. Stir & set aside. In a small skillet, heat oil, add onion, celery, carrots, green pepper, & garlic. Saute till tender crisp.
In a large bowl, mix ground beef, bread mixture & veggies. Add salt & pepper Mix with hands or large wooden spoon.
Line a broiler bottom pan with foil. Spray top broiler rack with Pam. Place meatloaf mixture on rack, form a large “donut” with a hole in the center, about the size of a dinner plate. Bake at 350 for 35 to 40 minutes.
Combine ketchup, brown sugar & mustard. Spread as a glaze on meatloaf and bake 15 minutes longer.
The meatloaf is truly the best I’ve ever had (just don’t tell my Mom). :)
Enjoy!
I bought that book. Sad to say, all I have done is look at the pictures and eat WW frozen dinners. Lot’s of good ideas here tonight.
I can vouch for both of these recipes. They are WAY good.
