The meat does not need to be seared in skillet first to make this fall-apart tender, pulled BBQ beef for sandwiches. This recipe has so much flavor no one will notice the Worcestshire sauce & the salt were deleted to reduce sodium (you may also use low-sodium catsup and BBQ to reduce sodium further). Using molasses instead of brown sugar and Worcestshire gives a depth of flavor and authenticity, while reducing sugar & sodium. It is great to take to picnics, buffets, or tailgating. Freezes well.

The perfect way to make mashed potatoes for a family gathering. Can be partially prepared aheaad of time and finished the day of the gathering. Holds well for extended periods of time if you stir periodically to avoid drying around the edges. As a bonus, this version is lower in calories and fats than the traditional version.

This is based on lots of recipes, but I could find nothing that fit what I wanted and what I had. Sort of a chili/stew/thick soup. Over noodles, rice or in a bowl. Garnish with FF sour cream, cheese or salsa. Nice for cold day.

Submitted by LAURAEXPLORER

This is one of my family's very favorite dinners. One of the best things about this recipe is how easy it is to adjust to your own tastes. I entered it in with my true ingredients, which are SPICY! If you don't like it super spicy, adjust your ratio of Sweet Thai chili sauce (found in the grocery store asian food section) and the spicy Sambal Oelek (found in the same section). Try 1/4 cup of sambal oelek and 3/4 cup sweet chili sauce. Also very good with skinless chicken thighs, trimmed. I just ordered PB2 and am looking forward to trying it with this recipe, to cut the fat back even further!

Similar concept to another recipe of mine, and other popular recipes on this site, but this recipe uses low sodium ingredients, and is still very tasty! I freeze leftovers in small microwaveable containers, and place them back in the refridgerator the day before I want to reheat them.

Submitted by APRILDAWN678

Easiest recipe ever! Works great in tacos, burritos, enchiladas or even on a salad.

Be sure that your chicken breasts are defrosted. If still frozen, the meat will have too much moisture and will change the taste.

Trust me - it does NOT taste like chicken and salsa.

Yay. Beans again... well, sometimes I think that but not often. I mean, I really love beans and am absolutely fine with eating them often. It's just that I typically don't get excited about a new flavor or experiment when cooking black beans. I usually am satisfied and pleased with my traditional method. But, I recently found a recipe online and thought, hmmm, I can make that work and got excited once again about the fabulous black bean!
