Beef/Pork Recipes (Most Popular)
I've been craving lasagna. While this isn't the lowest-calorie option out there, it's crammed with vegetables and is surprisingly low on sodium for having multiple cheeses in it!
This does NOT contain the noodles, rice, or whatever you're going to put it on top of! But it does have the rest of the stroganoff ingredients! :)
My mom used to make this recipe. Of course, she did it with a gazillion meatballs (always frozen), full-fat sour cream (lots of it), and normal high-sodium beef broth. My version is marginally better, although it does still use the frozen meatballs -- note, you can make it better still by doing your own meatballs!
This is meant to go on top of rice, noodles, or some other carb source. It's not "healthy", but it's also not horrible as long as you don't gorge on it.
I use this on top of rice or salad for a good meal option. Also works well in sandwiches or as a taco filling. This recipe makes a LOT, so be ready for that!
I have been fiending for beef stroganoff, but the typical ingredients (sour cream, egg noodles, etc) make it difficult to make. So, this is my lower-calorie take. It is still not completely low-calorie, but it's a lot better!
Also, please note that this recipe is based off the ingredient quantities I actually used. Caloric variations occur, especially when using different brands of broth/noodles.
I wrote the recipe as a four-serving recipe. That may have been overly generous. (See 'tips' below.)
While not the most healthy dish on the planet, I've removed some of the sodium content by using half fresh tomatoes, half canned. I removed a LOT of cheese from the standard dish, opting for a single slice on top of each pepper.
One serving is one pepper. Be forewarned!
Excellent flavor and extremely tasty! Quick and fast (as long as you marinade beforehand).
