WW 5.5 PTS Baked Macaroni/Beef Casserole

This casserole can be assembled ahead and baked later; if it's refrigerated,
increase baking time to 30 minutes.

Makes 4 servings


3 ounces elbow macaroni
8 ounces lean ground beef (10% or less fat)
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1 cup tomato sauce (no salt added)
1/4 cup minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 ounces skim-milk mozzarella cheese, grated

Preheat oven to 350o F. In large pot of boiling water, cook macaroni 8-10
minutes, until tender. Drain, discarding liquid; set aside. In large nonstick
skillet, cook beef, stirring to break up meat, 4-5 minutes, until no longer pink.
Remove from heat; set aside. Spray medium nonstick skillet with nonstick
cooking spray; heat. Add onion and bell pepper; cook over medium-high heat,
stirring frequently, 5 minutes, until vegetables are softened. Add tomato
sauce, parsley, basil, thyme, black pepper and reserved beef; cook, stirring
frequently, 3 minutes, until heated through. Remove from heat. Add cooked

How much space do you have on your computer screen? LOL I have books and books and BOOKS worth of great WW recipes. My all-time favorite comes from Weight Watchers Simply the Best All American: Over 250 Regional Favorites from Around the Country[/i] and is a 7 point Cincinnati 3-Way Turkey Chili. MMMM!

I think that I have posted this in another thread, but what the heck. This closely resembles a lasagna without the noodles (in taste):

Beef and Vegetable Cheese Casserole
Serves 4, 8 WW points per serving

2 medium tomatoes, sliced
2 medium zucchini, sliced
12 ounces lean ground beef
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 cup canned tomato sauce
2 cups fat free cottage cheese
1 large egg yolk
½ cup lowfat shredded Cheddar cheese
1 Tablespoon parsley, oregano, or rosemary
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 500. Coat a baking pan with cooking spray and lay tomatoes and zucchini on it. Roast for 10-12 minutes.

Saute beef, onion and garlic till the beef is browned. Stir in the tomato sauce and bring to simmer. Spread the beef mixture in a large shallow baking dish and top with roasted vegetables. Reduce oven temperature to 350.

Whisk together the cottage cheese, egg yolk, Cheddar cheese, herbs, and salt and pepper. Spoon over top of vegetables. Bake until very hot and bubbling around the edges, 35 minutes.

These are only three points a piece.


12 items chocolate wafer(s), about 2 1/2 oz
8 oz Neufchatel cheese, softened
1 cup 2% reduced fat milk
2/3 cup sugar
2 envelope unflavored gelatin
3 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa
1 cup water, boiling

Line 12 muffin tins with paper muffin liners. Place a wafer in the bottom of each of 12 muffin tins (or custard cups); set aside. (If the wafer doesn’t fit in bottom of muffin liners, break into pieces to cover bottom.)


Place cheese in bowl of a food processor and process until loose. With food processor running, pour milk down feed tube.


In a separate medium bowl, mix together sugar, gelatin and cocoa with a fork or spoon. Slowly add boiling water, mixing as you go; mix quickly until gelatin has completely dissolved.


With food processor running, slowly add cocoa mixture through feed tube; process thoroughly, about 1 minute.


Fill each muffin liner (or custard cup) with about 1/3 cup of cheese mixture. (Muffin tins will be filled up to the top; custard cups should be about 2/3 full.) Chill for a minimum of 2 hours. Yields 1 per serving.
