Loading ...Notes:
This one-dish version of the traditional “Runza” is made with noodles instead of bread dough, making it lighter and healthier. Diet lean ground beef and whole wheat noodles, along with the other ingredients, make this recipe fit into the WW Core Plan!
I used whole wheat broad/egg noodles and they cooked faster than I had expected. I used a bit more boullion than the original recipe called for - 1 1/2 Tbls and it was perfect! I have modified this recipe to match what the version I cooked.
I served this with applesauce topped with cinnamon and it was a perfect Fall dinner!
Servings: 5
Ingredients:
1 lb diet lean ground beef (at least 93% fat free)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 lb cabbage, shredded (about 6 cups - or use a 1 lb bag of bagged Cole Slaw Blend)
2 1/2 cups hot water
1 1/2 tablespoons instant beef bouillon
1/4 teaspoon pepper
salt to taste
2 1/2 cups UNCOOKED whole wheat broad egg noodles
Directions:
Brown meat in a large skillet for about 10 minutes, stirring often.
Add chopped onion and cook and stir until onion is translucent.
Drain off any fat.
Stir in cabbage, cover and cook about 5 minutes, until cabbage softens.
Stir in hot water, instant broth and pepper; bring to a boil.
Mix in the noodles.
Cover and simmer for about 10 minutes or until noodles are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Stir every 3 minutes to ensure noodles cook evenly.
(Drain off any excess liquid)
