WOW. This is SO incredibly tasty. This is my version of the recipe. This one is a definite keeper for us. Chalk full of flavor we thought. And VERY versatile.
Ingredients:
1 lb lean ground beef or 1 lb ground turkey
1 (16 ounce) can black beans
1 (16 ounce) can stewed tomatoes (chopped)
1 (1 1/4 ounce) envelope taco seasoning mix
1 (1 ounce) envelope ranch dressing mix
Directions:
1. Fry meat until just done.
2. Drain off excess oil.
3. Rinse with hot water.
4. (sounds GROSS, I know, but if you're watching fat, this is an excellent way to get it out of there and you don't notice a difference in flavor!) Return meat to pan and add remaining ingredients.
5. Cover and simmer on low for 1 hour.
6. (I actually found that simmering for about 50 minutes worked well. It thickened it up just great).
7. Estimated POINTS for Weight Watchers is 2 points for a 1 cup serving. ***Edited after first review*** You know, this is just what the recipe said. I have NO CLUE what points are. I did WW back before the fiber cap. Maybe that's where these low points come from. As the reviewer states - best to check it yourself! :).
8. (always double check your own points!) I took warmed flour tortillas and wrapped this up in them with a plop of sour cream and a bit of grated cheese.
9. My daughter took corn chips and used it as a dip.
10. It's sooo good!
11. You can also add Salsa for some extra flavor it you'd like.
12. Many different things you could do with this recipe!
13. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
