Beef/Pork Recipes (Most Popular)
While still somewhat high in calories, this recipe offers less calories than a full calories version. It also offers more fiber to keep you full. You can also sneak in extra veggies to add more fiber and minimal calories - broccoli, articokes, or spinach is a great choice for this recipe. Sour cream lends creaminess without adding more cheese or ricota (which is not lactose free).
This makes a 9 x 13 inch baking dish full of mousakka. I freeze individual portions in sandwich bags, or just wrap them in foil. They are easy to pack for lunches, just remove the foil or sandwich bag and zap in the microwave.
After the mousakka is refrigerated overnight, it will hold its shape when cut, thats when I just cut the portions and freeze them.
Konjac Spaghetti is available on line, since it is all fiber, it contains no digestible calories or carbs. It comes packed in liquid and has a somewhat unpleasant odor out of the package. It goes away with rinsing. Rinse it well and let it drain. Making your own spaghetti sauce keeps the calories and carbs low.
Delicious stuffed cabbage rolls to make in the morning and let cook all day!
This is another recipe variation from a recipe on Spark. I used 93/7 ground turkey at $7.18 for 3 lbs because to buy 3 lbs of 15% lean ground beef was close to $12. Ouch!!! I also added approximately 1/4 Italian bread crumbs just to help the burger stay together. I really did get 8 burgers out of the mixture that fit the buns perfectly. My daughter asked what the black things were before I cooked them and I fibbed and told her it was seasoning because I was afraid my picky eaters would balk if they knew it was actually beans. I was pleasantly surprised when both my daughter and my guy said "these are definitely a keeper". Thank you to "Hopetobefitchic" for the original recipe. **I did add 1/2 slice of cheese per burger so if you dont eat that then your cals are even less.
