FighterGirl 1 Posted June 15, 2006 Picadillo because it gives you flavorful Protein and you can serve with anything. You can have lettuce wraps, tortillas, tacos, with rice and Beans, with eggs.... 1 medium onion, chopped 1 clove garlic, chopped 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 pound ground beef 1/4 cup stuffed pimento olives, chopped Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper Crushed red pepper flakes 1 (8-ounce) can Tomato sauce ( or chopped tomatoes) In a large skillet over medium heat, saute onions, garlic, and pepper in olive oil until softened, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add ground beef and olives and continue stirring to break up and brown the meat. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. When beef has browned, add tomato sauce gradually while stirring. Cook 1 to 2 minutes longer to incorporate sauce sometimes i substitute the olives with golden raisins and add some toasted almonds...or i keep the olives and add it anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kathy473 1 Posted June 15, 2006 Usually taco night at my house is my favorite! While the hubby and kids are eating tacos (all the way) I am eating the veggies and refried Beans (fat free) with sour cream (fat free), cheese (fat free) and taco sauce with out the shell. Or going to any restaurant and having their soup....love, love, LOVE soup! It's my favorite! :hungry: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carlene 12 Posted June 15, 2006 I'm with Kathy...I love Soup. And I make wonderful Soup, if I do say so myself. My specialties are potato cheese, broccoli cheese, chicken tortilla, cream of chicken, gumbo (chicken,sausage, seafood, or all 3), and homemade chili. I try to stay away from the "cream of" Soups and when I do have them, I limit myself to one small bowl. I also make them with skim milk and/or fat free half and half.
