Healthy Recipes
Needing
a quick but man & family friendly dinner, I threw this together and
was happy to get the thumb's up from Bill & the kids :-) I serve it alongside
smashed potatoes (see below) & steamed green beans.
-
Meatloaf and
Smashed Potatoes
Recipe makes 6-8 Servings
Ingredients:
● 2 lbs lean ground beef
● 5-6 large Crimini (brown) mushrooms, chopped fine
● 1/2 cup chopped colored peppers (I use whatever is on sale)
● 1/2 cup Whole Wheat or Gluten-Free Panko crumbs
● 1 egg
● 1 Tbsp Mrs Dash Onion & Herb
● 1/2 cup Cheddar, shredded
● 1/2 cup BBQ Sauce (low sugar, low sodium, gluten free)
Directions:
● Spray an 8x8 pan with olive or coconut oil.
● In a bowl, mix all ingredients except the bbq sauce. Press into pan.
● Spread the bbq sauce over the top.
● Bake at 450 for 30 minutes.
● Carefully drain off liquid and return to oven for 10 minutes. Check for doneness.
● If not cooked through, continue cooking in 10-15 minute increments.
Option: Instead of an 8x8, use muffin tins! This makes easily portable leftovers!
Smashed Potatoes
Potatoes are a fabulous source of potassium (mostly in
the skin)! Don't be afraid to enjoy "white" potatoes while eating clean.
Typically, I don't eat starchy carbs in the evening, unless it's a treat,
but the rest of my family does, so this makes a great "comfort" food that's
also very healthy.
Ingredients:
● 1 1/2 to 2 Lbs Yukon Gold potatoes (don't peel)
● 1 Tbsp Unsalted Butter (local if possible)
● 1/4 cup Non-Fat Milk
● 1/4 - 1/2 cup shredded Medium Cheddar Cheese
● 1/2 - 1 Tbsp Mrs Dash Garlic & Herb
Directions:
● Chop potatoes into chunks and boil in salted water until tender. Drain.
● Add butter, milk & Mrs Dash and smash with a fork (keeping the skins).
● If you want a more "mashed" texture, use a hand mixer and blend until you reach desired consistency.
