I like to keep precooked ground beef in the fridge for quickies.
Sometimes when you feel like a filling meal but you need to watch calories....this tastes very lasagna ish and is filling.

-Chop and lightly sautee zuccini - either do it in butter for fatty yuminess or skip it and use the teflon pan. You can use spaghetti squash or eggplant instead
-warm your ground beef, you can either use nice fatty ground beef or drain the fat..water helps get even more out. Ground turkey is an option too but I think it's gross.
-Mix everything together with cottage cheese (I use 1%) and a liberal amount of tomato sauce - my favourite is RAO'S Homemade vodka sauce because there are only 6 carbs per 1/2 cup, and I don't need that much for a large serving.
-I've done it with chopped ham instead of, and mixed with the beef and it's delicious too.

This recipe is vague and open to interpretation and change Just a quick idea when you want something rich tasting. The cottage cheese I use is 1% fat... packs in a ton of protein and not a lot of calories. The Ingredients are all ready in the fridge (except the quick sautee zuccini) and just need to be warmed and mixed together. Increase veggies for a larger portion size.

I have to say, I think fitday put a little more fat in my ground beef than there actually is.
