• 8 ounces ground 90% lean turkey or beef
  
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
  
• 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
  
• 1 3/4 cups (one 15-ounce can) Hunt's Chunky Tomato Sauce
  
• 1/2 cup (2.5-ounce jar) sliced mushrooms, drained
  
• 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar Twin (or Splenda)
  
• 2 tablespoons Hormel Bacon Bits
  
• 3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded Kraft reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet with butter-flavored cooking spray. Separate biscuits and arrange on prepared cookie sheet. Lightly spray tops of biscuits with butter-flavored cooking spray. Bake 8 minutes. Place a cookie sheet on a wire rack while preparing meat sauce. Meanwhile, in a large skillet sprayed with butter-flavored cooking spray, brown meat, onion, and green pepper. Stir in tomato sauce, mushrooms, Brown Sugar Twin, bacon bits, and Cheddar cheese.
