Make Mexican Ground Beef Casserole Recipes Healthier with Simple Tips
I want to share a few tips to simplify healthy cooking! This recipe calls for ground sirloin which is the leanest cut of meat. Always look for cuts of meat ending in a “loin” or “round” to insure you are eating healthier. Something as simple as rinsing and draining beans reduces sodium in a recipe and that is important.
