Hamburger Noodle Casserole -- Weight Watchers 6 pts per serving
I would highly recommend this recipe to anyone -- whether they are on Weight Watchers, trying to lose weight, or don't need to watch their weight.
Hamburger Noodle Casserole
5 cups uncooked yolk-free noodles
1 1/4 pounds lean ground beef
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 cans (8 oz each) tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 package (8 ounces) reduced fat cream cheese
1 cup reduced fat ricotta cheese
1/4 cup fat-free sour cream
3 green onions, thinly sliced, divided
2/3 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
Cook noodles according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook beef and garlic until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the tomato sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper; heat through. Drain noodles; stir into beef mixture. In a small mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, ricotta cheese and sour cream until blended. Stir in half of the onions. Spoon half of noodle mixture into a 13x9 in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Top with cheese mixture and remaining noodle mixture. Cover and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Bake 5-10 minutes longer or until heated through and cheese is melted. Sprinkle with remaining onions. Yield: 10 servings. Serving size is 1 cup and is equal to 290 calories.
This recipe comes from Taste of Home's Comfort Food Diet Cookbook. I love this cookbook as it is easy to use with Weight Watchers since Taste of Home provides all the nutritional values for each recipe, making it very easy to calculate Weight Watcher's points.
My husband could not believe that this was a healthy recipe as rich and yummy as it was with the sour cream, cream cheese, ricotta cheese, and cheddar cheese. My 5 year old, Jaelyn, loved this as well.
