Lean ground beef or 1 pound of vegetarian crumbles

Bit of Water
Directions: Brown the meat using Pam Spray (if using vegetarian crumbles - it's already pre-cooked but use Pam anyway to prevent sticking).

Add all the other ingredients and heat.  Add water to your desired consistency - remember it thickens as it cools.  This recipe is even better the next day (thank you for your leftovers Laura :-)

Makes about 10-12 (1 cup) servings although this recipe is high in sodium it is loaded with soluble fiber which lowers LDL (loser) cholesterol and prevents quick rises in blood sugars.

140 calories a cup - counts as 1 starch & 1 protein.

Special THANKS to my client Laura for coming up with the recipe.  It's always great to get things from creative people like Laura
