Found while surfing the Net. It's been calculated at 7 pts with cheese and 5 pts without. It is very tasty and makes a ton (perfect for OAMC). If you chop the cabbage in a food processor, you can slip in the healthy veggie without picky eaters knowing. DH liked it and he hates cabbage. Ingredients:
1/2 teaspoon olive oil |
1 lb lean ground beef (or 1 lb ground sirloin) |
1 large onion, chopped fine |
2 teaspoons garlic, finely minced |
1 teaspoon southwest seasoning (or cajun seasoning) |
1/2 teaspoon hungarian paprika |
salt and black pepper |
1 head green cabbage, chopped into bite size pieces |
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can southwestern petite dice tomatoes with juice |
1 (4 ounce) can tomato sauce |
1/4 cup parsley, chopped |
1/4 cup broth, beef or 1/4 cup vegetables or 1/4 cup water |
1 cup brown rice, cooked |
1 cup mozzarella cheese, low-fat |
