⭐️ Sloppy-Joe traybake ⭐️
❤️ This recipe is from my first cookbook, The Slimming Foodie 📒 (find it here 👉 https://amzn.to/3LaXNNH) ❤️
CALORIES PER SERVING: 410
SERVES: 6
Ingredients:
500g (1lb 2oz) lean minced beef (less than 5 per cent fat)
1 onion, finely chopped l
ow-calorie cooking spray or spray oil
200g (7oz) tomato passata
2 tablespoons tomato purée
1 teaspoon garlic granules
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon chilli flakes
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons dried oregano
6 wholemeal bread rolls, sliced in half
125g (4¼oz) Cheddar cheese, grated
100g (3½oz) mozzarella, torn
salt and pepper
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan (425°F), Gas Mark 7.
2. To make the Bolognese sauce, fry the minced beef and onion in low-calorie cooking spray in a large saucepan over a high heat for about 7 minutes until the beef has browned all over.
3. Add the passata, tomato purée, garlic granules, paprika, chilli flakes, Worcestershire sauce and half the oregano, stir, then leave to simmer for 20 minutes. This should end up being quite a dry sauce, to avoid soggy rolls. If it`s still a bit wet, increase the heat to high and give it a really good bubble to allow some of the liquid to evaporate.
4. When the meat sauce is nearly ready, layer the bottom half of the sliced bread rolls into the bottom of a casserole dish so they are all lying flat but neatly packed together, and put into the oven for 5 minutes to lightly toast them.
5. Remove the dish from the oven, sprinkle one-third of the Cheddar evenly over the toasted rolls, then spread the Bolognese sauce evenly over the top.
6. Sprinkle the rest of the Cheddar over the top of the Bolognese, then distribute the mozzarella evenly on top.
7. Add the top halves of the bread rolls and squash them down gently onto the cheese. Spray the tops of the rolls with cooking spray and sprinkle over the remaining oregano.
8. Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 12 minutes until the cheese has melted and the tops of the rolls are toasted.
9. Use a spatula to separate each sloppy joe, then serve.
NOTE If you have Bolognese sauce already in the freezer, you can use it to make this meal even speedier.

⭐️ Hummus ⭐️
Find the recipe here: https://www.theslimmingfoodie.com/hummus/
This is one of those recipes that I go back to again and again. Traditional hummus contains tahini and olive oil for a smooth and creamy consistency. Although delicious, this does make it a calorie-laden snack. I swap out the tahini and oil for fat-free Greek yoghurt, which also provides a creamy consistency, and retains delicious flavour.
Serve with crudités such as carrot and pepper for a satisfying and healthy snack.

This is one of my go-to family favourite meals. Its a hearty stew but with simple flavours perfect for fussy-eaters. I like to chop everything really small which means that there`s no picking out of bits of vegetable that the kids don`t like, as it`s all just easy to eat.
