"South Beach Diet Phase 1,2 & 3"

 

• Ready In: 55mins
• Ingredients: 15
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1⁄3 cup onion, chopped (1 1/2 ounces)
• 2 stalks celery, minced
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1⁄2 cup tomato sauce
• 2 teaspoons Splenda sugar substitute
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon mustard
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
• 2 eggs
• 1⁄2 cup mayonnaise (used light, and slightly less)
• 1⁄4 cup fat-free half-and-half
• 8 ounces fat-free cheddar cheese, shredded

directions

1. Brown the hamburger with the onion, celery and garlic; drain fat. Add the tomato sauce, Splenda, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt and pepper. Mix well and let simmer, uncovered, about 10 minutes or so just to blend the flavors.
2. Put the meat mixture in the bottom of a greased (I used ICBINB) glass pie plate; mix in about half the cheese. Spread remaining cheese over the top. Beat the eggs in a small bowl and whisk in the mayo, cream. Pour custard mixture evenly over the cheese.
3. Bake at 350º for 30-35 minutes until nicely browned. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.

DH and I have been doing the SB Diet since October so this is a great find for us! We really enjoyed it along with a tossed salad. I reduced the celery to one stalk and used about 6 oz of low fat cheese as that was all I had left in the house. The topping is a bit of a strange texture, something like an omelet on the top, but it tasted great. We will definitely repeat this one! I can see changing this up with different spices or maybe even adding a bit of taco seasoning just for fun. Thanks for posting!

Easy and yummy. I'm not doing south beach (so I used regular mayo, cheese, and cream), but wanted something different to do with my ground beef... this fit the bill. Thanks for posting it. :)

Easy to make on a weeknight. This had a slightly peculiar texture and taste due to the mayo, but we ate it without any major issue. Thanks.

Super, super, super super easy and very nice looking. I only did 3 things different- no celery, dry mustard b/c I had no other, and I used FF mayo. This was very very rich. I think that I'll serve it with something else next time just because a little goes a long way! Very good.

Oh soooo good!! Just finished eating this for dinner and was very pleased! I omitted celery as we're not a big fan of it in dishes, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. I'm the only one on the SBD in the family, but it was thoroughly enjoyed by all with a salad on the side. Everyone asked for seconds. It definitely gave me some yummy flavors I have been missing since starting the diet.
