Crazy Crust Pizza

Dough:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp table salt
1 tsp McCormick Oregano leaves
1/8 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup Egg Beaters Egg Beaters (I used 2 eggs)
2/3 cup fat-free skim milk

Toppings (can substitute)
17 slice Hormel Pillow Pack Turkey Pepperoni (I use browned ground beef 1/4 lb)
1 cup mushroom
1 cup pizza sauce
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup onion, chopped

In a small bowl, combine batter ingredients until smooth. Pour into greased and dusted 14" pizza pan (or sheet pan of similar size). Tilt pan so that batter covers bottom. Arrange toppings and bake at 425 for 25-30 minutes or until crust is deep golden brown. Remove from oven and drizzle with sauce. Sprinkle with cheese and return to oven for 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and sauce is hot.

Not bad, would make again. Has a little bit of a weird texture to the crust.

Skillet Steak Dinner

4 (4 oz) lean minute or cube steaks (i just cut into small chunks)
1 cup chopped onion
3 cups frozen french-cut green beans (i used regular and were just fine)
1/2 cup whole mushrooms, undrained (i just used one small can)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/4 cup milk
1/8 tsp black pepper

In a large skillet sprayed with PAM, brown meat. Stir in onion, frozen green beans, and undrained mushrooms. In a medium bowl, combine mushroom soup, skim milk, and black pepper. Add soup mixture to meat mixture. Mix well to combine. Lower heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes or until meat and vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Divide into 4 servings.

This is another Joanna Lund recipe. I really like this one. I ate as is but you could easily add potato to the dinner. Definitely a keeper.

Mexican Stroganoff

8 oz lean ground beef
1/2 cup chunky salsa
1 cup sliced mushroom, undrained (i just used one small can)
1/4 tsp dried minced garlic
1 tsp dried parsley flakes
1/2 cup no-fat sour cream
2 cups hot cooked noodles

In a large skillet sprayed with PAM brown meat. Stir in salsa, undrained mushrooms, garlic and parsley flakes. Add sour cream. Mix well to combine. Lower heat and simmer for 6 to 8 minutes, or until mixture is heated through, stirring often. Serve with noodles.

1 3/4 c noodles usually cooks to about 2 cups.

This is another Joanna Lund recipe and I like this one a lot. I just make what I want for noodles and don't follow there instructions. I think it could be easily doubled.

Pot Roast Meatloaf

2/3 c nonfat dry milk
2/3 c water
1/4 c ketchup
1/8 tsp black pepper
2 tsp worcestershire sauce
1/2 c quick oats
16 oz lean ground beef
1 c sliced onion
2 c sliced carrots
1 1/2 c sliced celery
2 c slice raw potatoes
2 tsp dried parsley flakes

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray an 8x12 baking dish with PAM. In a large bowl, combine dry milk powder, water, ketchup, black pepper, worcestershire sauce, and oats. Add meat. Mix well to combine. Pat mixture into center of prepared baking dish. In a large bowl, combine onion, carrots, celery, potatoes, and parsley flakes. Evenly arrange vegetables around meatloaf. Cover and bake for 1 hour. Uncover and continue baking for 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Place baking dish on a wire rack and let set for 5 minutes. Serves 6 w/1 c veggies per person. (I made 4 small loaves in the pan for preportioning and made it serve 4 people. Was very good, I did add some ketchup to mine when i ate it, and veggies could use some flavor, extremely simple to make and throw in oven.)

This is a Joanna Lund recipe, she makes healthy recipes that are nice to eat.
