Low Carb Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole

After a great and healthy supper on Monday night, we decided to try this Low-Carb Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole to stay on the right track during the week.  We had a meeting with out real estate agent right as we got home so time was of the essence to get supper on the table before the twins started screaming and this recipe did the trick.  This recipe is more or less a bacon cheeseburger quiche than it is a casserole. It was tasty and both kids and both adults cleaned their plates.  If you are looking for a low-carb recipe then this one would definitely work for you.  If you are more strictly counting calories (like I am), this may be a meal you hold off on until the weekend or when you have some flexibility.


In the New Year, I have recently started to do the WeightWatchers point system to start fit back into some of the clothes that have sat in my closet for awhile and get ready for my next chapter of my educational career.  So, now for each recipe, I will also be adding the number of servings and points that each meal contains.  This will help all of us reading this blog to better understand the nutrition that I am eating.  Don't worry, there will still be plenty of great, healthy recipes coming on the blog as well as some of the good stuff when I get to cash in my left over points on the weekend.

All that being said, here is the recipe.

 Low-Carb Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole
Originally seen on Plain Chicken

Serves: 8
WeightWatchers Points per serving: 11

1 lb. lean ground beef
1/2 lb. bacon, cut into pieces
2 tbs. ketchup
2 tbs. mustard
1 onion, diced
4 eggs, beaten
1 cup shredded cheddar
1/2 cup low-fat milk
4 oz. light sour cream
1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix

Preheat the oven to 350 F.  Cook both the ground beef with the onion and the bacon in separate skillets on the stove.  When both meats are cooked, combine into one skillet.  Add the ketchup, mustard, and ranch dressing packet into the skillet with the meats and combine.  Put the meat mixture into a lightly greased 8x8 or 11x7 pan.  Sprinkle the cheddar cheese on top.  Whisk together the eggs, milk, and sour cream.  Pour on top of the meat and cheese.  Bake uncovered in the oven for 30-35 minutes.

I hope everyone is having a good week and is glad that we got over the hump.  I will be back tomorrow with another new, great recipe.  Stay stuntin'!

Slow Cooker Seafood Cioppino

Brrrrr...it's freezing down here in Florida.  I am a bigger guy and I was freezing in my short walk from my grad school class to my car last night.  This soup, like many crockpot recipes, was easy to put together and the flavors blended together nicely.  Not to mention, the best part, it is only 1 point per serving!  For anyone else that may be doing the Paleo diet or the Whole30 diet, this meal also works with those plans.  When I did get home, this crockpot soup was the perfect meal to thaw out and decompress from the day ------- Now, I'd be remiss if I didn't add a little US history now and again... Cioppino is a traditional Italian-American soup that originated in San Francisco around the turn of the 20th century.  After a bad day out out on the sea, Italian-American fishers that settled in the Bay area would take around a pot asking community members to chip in what they had to make the soup.  The expectation was that fishers that had a g...

Weight Watchers Spaghetti Carbonara with Salmon & Broccoli

Well, I guess the first month of the blog is going to be more of a soft opening than a full blown opening.  Right after a painful hand infection that got me behind on posting, I fought off the flu for the last few days.  Now, that I am starting to feel more normal, the posting should be back to a normal pace with still some backlogged items to post. One of the things that the Wife of the Blog and I have appreciated so far about WeightWatchers is that it is not some crazy diet where you have to eat just tree roots or berries.  This recipe from last night was a great example of this.  We got to enjoy a filling, great meal and did not have to feel guilty about having carbohydrates.  This meal was also super easy and came together in probably 15 minutes max.  It is a perfect easy and healthy weeknight meal.  A great catch! ---- Weight Watchers Spaghetti Carbonara Serves: 5 WeightWatchers Points Per Serving: 6 8 oz. spaghetti 3 slices center c...

Shrimp & Chicken Sausage Paella

One of our favorite places to eat that we do not get to eat at often is the Columbia Restaurant in the middle of downtown St. Augustine.  Their paella, 1905 salad, and house-made bread is a meal that cannot be beat.  While I am not a wine drinker, the Wife of the Blog is also a big fan of their red wine sangria.  As those of us with little kids can attest, eating out anywhere, let alone a nicer place an hour-plus away is not a common occurrence.  Either we would rather save money and eat at home and/or we would rather parent and wrestle our kids in the peace of our own home. While not quite as good as the Columbia's this paella did a great job of satisfying our Columbia cravings without having to pack the kids in the van and drive an hour to get it.  This recipe will certainly be making it into our meal rotation for the future.  I tweaked the original recipe that I found a little bit to make it a little easier to make and it seemed to work for me....
