Re: healthy foods i can make in big batches
This is some chili I made last week that turned out pretty good:
2 lbs 93% lean beef (drain fat) 2 cans crushed tomato 1 can tomato sauce 2 cans pork and beans (I dont like kidney beans) 1 green pepper 2 jalapenos 3 spoons of chili powder 1 box multigrain pasta onion salt garlic salt I ended up adding a couple cups of water to get desired juiciness I cooked the pasta separate and mixed it in at the end. The rest filled up a crock pot and I just let it sit on low for 4 hours (browned and drained beef first). The total calories added up to roughly 4000. Total fat was about 100g. I divided it up into 12 servings so roughly 330 calories and 9g fat per serving. Good and spicy chili that works well to reheat at work. |

Re: healthy foods i can make in big batches
I love to make a big batch of lentil soup stuffed full of fresh veggies like onions, celery, garlic, carrots, and I'll add in canned and sometimes fresh tomatoes, and sometimes some sausage(a little goes a very long way for flavoring, or you can just put it in there because you like sausage, whatever. Also sometimes black beans or white beans for more protein/variety.
Often I will shred some chicken or turkey up in there too. Often I'll add potatoes. Aside from any sausage you might add, it's an incredibly low calorie, super-nutritious meal. Lentils have a good amount of protein too, and then there's whatever else you'd like to add. It all freezes really well. |
