Hamburger and Broccoli Casserole

³ Description

I altered this recipe from it's original state a bit to try and bring the calories down, it still turned out really well, however you might want to try using greek yogurt in place of the skim milk, if you want it more dry and not sloppy. Also, I made this recipe come to 4 servings, they are VERY large servings, which is why the calories/protein are so high, if you want to lower them, turn it into 6 servings instead of 4.

² Ingredients

•  100 g Extra Lean Ground Beef
•  1/2 cup Milk (Nonfat)
•  1 tbsp Garlic Powder
•  1 tbsp Black Pepper
•  1 tbsp Salt
•  1 oz Broccoli (Chopped, Frozen)
•  1 medium (2-1/2" dia) Onions
•  1 serving (serving = 1/3 cup) Kraft Double Cheddar Light 2% Shredded Cheese
•  1 serving (serving = 2 tbsp) Philadelphia Fat Free Cream Cheese

q Directions

1. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet, drain as much fat as you can, add in chopped onion and salt/pepper to taste.

2. Microwave the cream cheese for 45 seconds in the microwave, transfer it to a mixing bowl then stir until it becomes creamy and smooth, add in the cheddar cheese, garlic powder and some salt/pepper to taste.

3. Grease a large casserole dish and put in the ground beef and broccoli as well as the cream sauce you've made, mix them all together and flatten it out evenly across the casserole dish

4. Bake in the oven at 350 for 40 minutes until it starts to brown on the top

Optional: Top with cheese for an extra cheesy flavor (don't forget to add the additional cheese to your calories!)

Note: The Philadelphia cream cheese is the whole 250g package, which works out to 32 tbsp (the only option in building the recipe)

The nutrition was calculated by someone else, so I can't speak to that. I also replaced the cream with milk, I hope this helps!
