Wise Eating
This concoction can be made into low fat healthy burgers, meatloaf, or meatballs. Let's look at each of these in detail.
Burgers And Meatballs
Flatten the ground meat/oat mix for burgers or roll it into golf ball sized meatballs. Place it into a skillet with 2 Tbsp. of olive oil and fry until well browned.
The burgers will go onto a whole grain bun with a slice of low-fat cheese, lettuce, tomato, and an olive oil based mayonnaise.
The meatballs will be dropped into your favorite spaghetti sauce.
Are these simple ground beef recipes or not? Of course they're simple!
Meatloaf
Form the ground meat/oat mix into a football shape. Place it into a shallow baking dish and drizzle with ketchup. Bake uncovered for one hour at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Make sure the juices run clear to assure it is cooked all the way through.
The oats add fiber to your diet while supplying the nutrients found in this whole grain. Using olive oil in your spaghetti sauce and to fry your burgers or meatballs gets this healthy oil into you in a "sneaky" way.
By adding a salad or raw vegetable platter to these simple ground beef recipes you have delicious healthy recipes that are good to eat and good for you.
