I love this Weight Watchers dish; it's tasty and hearty and doesn't feel like 'Diet Food' at all. However, as I'm now doing Slimming World, I adapted the recipe slightly to make it Syn free. You can see below the recipe for a list of ingredients that I actually used.
Ingredients
- 350g extra-lean minced beef
- 2 teaspoons veg oil
- 2 onions, chopped
- 300ml beef stock
- 225g can plum tomatoes
- 415g can baked beans
- 110g pasta spirals
- 2 teaspoons Worcester sauce
- 2 teaspoons tomato puree
- 2 teaspoons BBQ sauce
- a pinch of dried herbs
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- chopped parsley to garnish (optional)
Method
Saute the minced beef in a large non-stick frying pan, for 4-5 mins, until browned. Drain off the fat. Heat oil in a large saucepan then gently cook the onions, until soft. Stir in the mince along with all the remaining ingredients, except the parsley. Bring to the boil then reduce the heat and simmer, covered for 40 mins, until the meat and pasta are cooked and tender. Check the seasoning, then sprinkle with lots of fresh chopped parsley before serving.
