INGREDIENTS
3 oz Lean Ground Beef
1/2 cup Canned Black Beans
1/2 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper (diced)
1/4 cup Yellow Onion (diced)
2 Tbsp Tomato Paste
1 Garlic Clove (minced)
Mixed Dried Herbs & Spices to taste
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced yellow onion and minced garlic in a small splash of water or a light cooking spray until fragrant and translucent.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles. Season lightly with salt, pepper, and a pinch of mixed dried herbs.
Mix in the diced red bell pepper and tomato paste, stirring until the vegetables soften and the tomato paste coats the meat evenly.
Layer the ingredients in an oven-safe dish: start with the beef mixture, then spread the canned black beans evenly, and top with dollops of low-fat cottage cheese.
Sprinkle additional dried herbs if desired, and season with a bit more salt and pepper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the dish is heated through and the flavors meld.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
