Time 1h7m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb lean ground beef or 1 lb ground turkey
1 (16 ounce) can black beans
1 (16 ounce) can stewed tomatoes (chopped)
1 (1 1/4 ounce) envelope taco seasoning mix
1 (1 ounce) envelope ranch dressing mix

Steps:

Fry meat until just done.
Drain off excess oil.
Rinse with hot water.
(sounds GROSS, I know, but if you're watching fat, this is an excellent way to get it out of there and you don't notice a difference in flavor!) Return meat to pan and add remaining ingredients.
Cover and simmer on low for 1 hour.
(I actually found that simmering for about 50 minutes worked well. It thickened it up just great).
Estimated POINTS for Weight Watchers is 2 points for a 1 cup serving. ***Edited after first review*** You know, this is just what the recipe said. I have NO CLUE what points are. I did WW back before the fiber cap. Maybe that's where these low points come from. As the reviewer states -- best to check it yourself! :).
(always double check your own points!) I took warmed flour tortillas and wrapped this up in them with a plop of sour cream and a bit of grated cheese.
My daughter took corn chips and used it as a dip.
It's sooo good!
You can also add Salsa for some extra flavor it you'd like.
Many different things you could do with this recipe!
I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
