Original recipe calls for 1/4 c margarine to be added in with the stuffing and water. Some kind of butter substitute would add to the flavor.



Other tips:

For those with those "grilling machines": have you considered cooking frozen hash brown patties? Many are available for about 3 points each. I usually spray them with cooking spray. Since they are thinner than the depth of the machine, I usually turn them once. Let them cook until lightly browned--they're tasty!

Have you tried grilling vegetables? I slice zucchini in half lengthwise, onion in 3/4" slices, bell peppers in sections, etc. Spray with cooking spray and lightly sprinkle with various seasonings, your choice. They're wonderful!

I try to make life as convenient as possible, not that I'm lazy or something. In the kitchen that includes buying extra measuring tools (spoons, cups). For instance, I have a bread machine and keep the major ingredients together in one part of my cabinets. In each canister, I leave the measuring device appropriate for that ingredient so that it is always handy, i.e., teaspoon in the salt, 1/2 C measure in the bread flour, etc. It saves time hunting for the right tool. Use this tip for any recipe that you often repeat.

Nutritional information is based on all information available to me at the time of publication. I now calculate points using the 2001 Weight Watchers information. Verify that your ingredients yield the same results. I usually choose to use light rather than nonfat products. Some items, such as cheddar, I use the normal product as noted, as my preference. Optional ingredients are not included in the calculation of calories or points.
