Hash Brown Casserole

I love this casserole because it tastes good and it is so easy to make. Sometimes it is hard to stay on a healthy eating plan when you either don't feel like cooking or you don't have a lot of time. This casserole is great because it can be whipped up really quick. It does take a while to bake but when I am crunched for time, I try to get other things done while it is baking. If you are looking for something easy to make and delicious to taste, this is the casserole for you! I hope you enjoy it!

Meatloaf

After reading the title of this post, I'm sure you will be surprised to hear meatloaf is not one of my favorite things. I am kind of a picky eater and meatloaf often contains ingredients that I do not like. However, my mom makes a meatloaf that I do like. This is a lightened up version of the meatloaf my mom makes. It is delicious and has a good flavor without having too high of a points plus value. I really enjoy this meatloaf and hope you do too!

Barbecue Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza

Pizza is one of my very favorite things. I love this Barbecue Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza but the way it is "supposed" to be made isn't very weight watcher friendly so I decided to lighten it up! I chose to use Pillsbury Thin Pizza Crust dough from the refrigerator section for convenience. You could make your own pizza crust as my original recipe suggests. I also chose to use turkey bacon so I could add more, but you could use regular bacon and just use less. My lightened up pizza turned out great! It was delicious! I hope you enjoy it too!

Barbecue Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza

Ingredients

Cooking spray

1 can refrigerated Pillsbury Thin Pizza Crust dough

1 3/4 cups 2% milk mozzarella cheese

6 slices turkey bacon, cooked crisp

1 pound 95% lean ground beef, browned

1/2 cup barbecue sauce

1 cup 2% milk cheddar cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly coat 9x13 pan with cooking spray. Unroll pizza dough and press into bottom and up sides of pan. Bake for 8 minutes. When you take the crust out of the oven, sprinkle mozzarella cheese over inside of pizza crust. Crumble the bacon evenly over cheese and then top with ground beef. Drizzle barbecue sauce evenly over ground beef and finally top with cheddar cheese. Bake until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling, about 25 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes and slice into 8 pieces. Enjoy!
