Recipe Introduction


This is the recipe that started the whole thing, that launched Healthy Exchanges. It's the first one I ever created--and when I served it to Cliff, he told me he would eat anything else I prepared, no matter how healthy, as long as it tasted this good! That's about as high a compliment a "truck-drivin' man" can give.

Serves 8





List of Ingredients



• 16 ounces ground 90% lean turkey or beef
  
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
  
• 1/2 cup chopped green and/or red bell peppers
  
• 1 1/2 cups frozen whole kernel corn
  
• 1 cup chunky salsa
  
• 3/4 cup (3 ounces) Kraft shredded reduced-fat Chedder cheese
  
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  
• 1 cup (3 ounces) crushed corn chips
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large skillet sprayed with olive-flavored cooking spray, brown meat, onions, and green peppers. Add corn, salsa, Chedder cheese, and black pepper. Spray a 10-inch pie plate. Top with crushed corn chips. Bake 30 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before serving.
