Anyone have any Healthy ground Beef Recipes? Until I go to the Dietician later this month I'm not so sure one what's ok and what's not and I'm getting tired of Baked Chicken real fast.
TIA

I have a very old ground meat cookbook, and I substitute some healthier things as needed. Here are some examples:
Meatloaf- use low fat and use whole wheat crackers or whole wheat toast, crumbled instead of white.
French Fry Pie- Make mealoaf as above, but pat into an oven safe pie dish. Top with sweet potato french fries and low sugar ketchup.
Stuffed Cabbage Rolls
Take 12 cabbage leaves and immerse in boiling water for 3 minutes or until limp; drain. Combine 1 beaten egg, 1/4 cup water, 1 cup cooked long-grain rice, 1/4 cup chopped onion, 1 and 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, 14 tsp dried thyme leaves, crushed. Add 1 and 1/4 pounds ground beef, lean and mix thoroughly. Place about 1/4 cup meat mixing in center of each leaf; fold in sides and roll ends over meat. Fasten with wooden picks and place in large skillet. Combine 8 oz of tomato sauce, 1 tbs brown sugar and 1 tbs lemon juice and pour over rolls. Simmer, covered 1 hour, basting occasionally. remove cover for last 5 minutes or till sauce is desired consistancy. Serves 6.
Stuffed tomato cups

Stuffed Pepper Cups
Cut tops off 6 medium green peppers; remove seeds and membrane. Scallop edges. Precook peppers in boiling salted water 5 minutes; drain. Sprinkle inside of cups generously with salt. Brown 1 pound lean ground beef and 1/3 cup chopped onion. Add 1/2 tsp salt and dash pepper. Stir in 16 oz chopped tomatoes, 1/2 cup uncooked long-grain rice, 1/2 cup water and 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce. Cover; simmer 15 minutes. Stir in 4 oz shredded sharp cheese.

THis isn't a recipe, but I love ground beef. To cut down on the fat, I try to mix 1/2 ground beef and 1/2 ground turkey, when it's cooked together, it looks and tastes the same without all of the fat.

Here is another ground beef recipe I found in my recipe folder. It is a crock-pot recipe.
Cabbage Stew
1lb. ground beef
1 can tomatoes
1 large onion, chopped
1 can whole kernel corn
1 tsp. garlic salt
1 small head of cabbage
3 ribs celery, chopped
1 can stewed tomatoes
1 can Ranch style beans
1 Tbsp. chili powder
Mix all ingredients together and put into crock-pot. Cut cabbage and place on top. Cook 5 or 6 hours on high. Do not add water or drain any liquid off of the canned vegetables. Makes a crock-pot full. Serve Hot.
* You could also use ground turkey meat in this recipe or lean ground beef.

I found this in the Kraft Food & Family magazine they send in the mail. It is full of veggies, and my husband LOVED it!

1 cup light sour cream

How about Taco Soup? I do Weight Watchers and it is only 2 1/4 points for 1 cup.
Taco Soup
1 lb browned ground beef, drained of fat
1 can corn....I actually just use frozen corn
1 28 oz can diced tomatoes
1 can kidney beans
2-3 tbsp taco seasoning
put all ingredients into a saucepan and simmer.
I usually make some muffins to go with it. It is a wonderful meal!
