I have called this lower fat, because I think anything cooked with ground beef can't really be called low fat. I got this idea from a friend at work. She and I and a couple of others have formed a "support group" to check in with once a week to help us with our weight loss journey. I think the thing we all have in common, is that this is a lifetime journey for all of us, and we enjoy food and do not like to feel deprived. She described this recipe that she had seen on .skinnytaste.com, though she sent me this link I am afraid I had already gone ahead and made it based on her description.
I love shepherds pie and this sounded like a good way to make it a little healthier.
1 lb of lean ground beef
1 onion chopped
1 garlic clove chopped
4 carrots chopped
2 cups of chopped green beans or peas
2 cups of tomato puree or crushed tomatoes
A good dash of worcestershire sauce
3 large Yukon gold potatoes
2 tablespoons of low fat sour cream
2 tablespoons of milk
A little Parmesan cheese for the top
Add the first 3 ingredients into a large pot and stir until the ground beef is cooked. I find that there is enough fat even in lean ground beef that you do not need to add any.
Now add the chopped mushrooms.
