Expert Tips

We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the original.

Lean ground turkey can be used instead of the ground beef, if you like.

Toss a crisp green salad with your favorite reduced-fat dressing and serve it with this family-style skillet meal. Fresh fruit makes a perfect dessert.
