Recipe: Hamburger Heaven

1 pound lean ground beef
5 slices American cheese (2 percent fat)
1 heaping cup of fine egg noodles
14 1/2 ounce can of stewed tomatoes
Place ground beef in a 10-inch skillet. Brown the beef then drain. Return ground beef to skillet spreading evenly. Place cheese evenly over the beef. Spread noodles over the cheese (it will look like you need more noodles but this will be plenty). Puree the stewed tomatoes and 1/2 can of water in a blender. Pour over noodles. Cover and cook on top of the stove over low to medium low heat for about 22 minutes or until the noodles are done. Let stand for 10 minutes and enjoy.

Serves 4 to 6.


Do not ask me for the points, just figure out the points for the cheese, meat and noodles then divide by serving.

I don't eat meat but did use soy crumbles for this and it was a big hit at my house, not to mention, fast,easy and cheap.

So you don't cook the noodles in advance?
Just put them in dry right?

(I am going to make it this weekend my husband even thinks it sounds good and he is picky

Right Chelsie, just as the recipe says. Dry.


I did not even use the cheese the recipe suggested. I used a handful or two of shredded cheddar
