Directions
Beef, Vegetable and Cheese Casserole, I am always looking for healthier ways of cooking for my family This is one recipe that I have made and frozen for those hectic days Originally found this one the Weight Watchers Site and tweaked it to my family’s taste 7 Points/6 Servings (Can be prepared and frozen for OMC), This dish was great Easy to make & good on points even though I chose to use non-fat-free ingredients (can’t handle the processing, extra sodium & fillers) I loved the roasted tomatoes/zucchini & the cottage cheese mixture on top was very yummy I added some italian sausage to the beef & did the italian version with parm cheese & basil Great recipe, thanks for sharing , As I am always looking for great light recipes – I had to try this! It was a hit at home – the taste of the roasted zucchinis and tomatoes – Mmmm! Next time I will add some grilled red peppers also! It was a great recipe to prepare ahead for busy weeknight suppers!
