Is it too hot already to cook delicious comfort food? Well maybe in some parts of our wonderful world it is, however as always most of us are concerned about calories; but with this recipe you will not be disappointed, and you may ask me why ? Well this version is not made with beef and it only has 325 calories per serving, now tell me if it’s not worth it. I made this for my family and not one of them realized that they were eating something healthy, and yes it is getting warmer here in new England but this recipe is worth it when feeding your family and specially if you want to keep them healthy!
