  • 1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef (90% lean)
  • 1/2 pound reduced-fat bulk pork sausage
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 medium carrot, chopped
  • 1 celery rib, chopped
  • 2 cups cubed day-old whole wheat bread
  • 1/2 cup fat-free milk
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Method

  • In a Dutch oven, cook the beef, sausage, onion, carrot and celery over medium heat until meat is no longer pink and vegetables are crisp-tender. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine bread cubes and milk; set aside.
  • Remove meat mixture from the heat; drain. Stir in flour until blended. Stir in bread mixture and remaining ingredients. Transfer to a 13x9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray.
  • Cover and bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°. Uncover and stir. Bake 8-12 minutes longer or until golden brown.
