Weight watcher ground beef recipe how to#

But, I’m me and I still wanted to make something a little different so I decided to just start throwing a bunch of stuff together. Poor Man’s Meal! It’s one of my favorite meals and it’s very popular on this ol’ blog! You can read all about it, how much I love it, how I grew up on it, and grab the recipe here. So, what’s probably the quickest and easiest meal that I have in my repertoire and that I always have the ingredients on hand for? You guessed it. I wanted to make something different because well, it was New Year’s Eve and all, but I didn’t feel like spending a ton of time in the kitchen because there were movies, popcorn, and starburst waiting for me in the living room, you know? That’s actually my favorite kind of night and to be honest, the perfect way to end a great year. We opted to rent a bunch of movies, make dinner at home, and eat our weight in stove top popcorn and starbursts. The temps were in the negatives and it was just all around unpleasant.

On the very last day of 2017, my mama took little Pepper so Erica and I could spend a night together without a toddler. A super, super good hodge podge meal made up of the most satisfying ingredients with a very Tex-Mex vibe that I’m here for! Eat it as in a bowl, add to shells for taco night, or throw an egg on it and make it a breakfast skillet! (this was about a half of a head of cabbage for me.)Īdd the tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef stock, and cabbage, and season with the remaining salt and black pepper to taste.īring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the cabbage is soft, about 35 minutes.Īdd the cooked brown rice and simmer 5 more minutes before ladling the soup into 8 serving bowls to serve.Introducing: Cowboy’s Meal. (While that was cooking I chopped up the cabbage and measured out 4 cups. Add the onion, garlic, paprika, and thyme and cook until the onions are soft, 5 to 7 minutes. (while the meat was cooking I started cooking the brown rice.)ĭrain any fat from the pot and reduce the heat to medium-low. In a large pot of Dutch oven set over high heat, season the ground beef with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and cook, using a wooden spoon to break the meat into small pieces (a Pampered Chef Mix N’ Chop is great for this) as it browns. Swanson unsalted cooking beef stock (read the label to be sure this is gluten-free, if necessary) Forgot these little guys in the picture.ĥ c. You probably only need about a half of a head of cabbage. Once the soup is cooking it only take 35 minutes for the cabbage to soften and for the soup ready to eaten.įor those on Weight Watchers, a 1-1/2 cup serving is just 3 Weight Watcher smart points! Yay!! This “Un”Stuffed Cabbage Soup takes care of that. I still don’t mind making it from time to time as a special meal on a day when we will be home, but most days it just isn’t practical. It’s pretty simple to make but it takes hours to cook since the rice has to cook and soften within the cabbage roll.
