We had a function at work today. It was a cookout. The company provided hamburgers, hot dogs, sausages, buns, and chips. We were asked to bring side dishes and desserts. Usually at this type of event there will be a lot of carb loaded side dishes, so I thought I would offer something a little on the healthier side. It comes it a little under 200 calories for a serving of about a half cup. This is a rough estimate, I should use my food scale and actually figure this stuff out, but who has the time for that?
Ingredients:
1 pound raw broccoli (or more, go nuts if you want to)
2 cups uncooked Quinoa
1 can "Cream of XYZ" soup (I used chicken and mushroom, 98% fat free)
1/2 cup of Mayo (I used the olive oil kind)
8 Ounces of Shredded Cheese (Plus more for sprinkling on top)
Pepper, Tony Cachere's (or seasoned salt, or your own spices)
Directions:
Steam Broccolli and set aside
Cook Quinoa according to your packages directions
Add broccoli to your casserole dish and break apart with kitchen shears or a spatule
Mix in quinoa, soup, mayo and cheese.
Add pepper and other seasonings to taste.
Place in oven for about 20 minutes or until the edges start to get crispy
Sprinkle cheese on top and bake until cheese is nice and melty.
Serve and Enjoy!
Sorry about not having pictures. Again, not the prettiest dish ever, but quite tasty.
