This is one my favorite lean and greens, but I have been trying to eat meats from the lean group (93% ground beef, pork, other beef, etc) only once or twice a week to see if it would speed up my weight loss so I can hurry and get to goal! I feel like I have been in the weight loss phase forever so it is time for me to get my booty in gear. Luckily, I re-started yesterday and I am doing pretty good. I am already down 3.2 lbs since Tuesday so yeah... I am one happy girlie! With this recipe, you can really change out the veggies except I would keep the cabbage. I mean it is called hamburger and cabbage stir fry :) I am not fond of mushrooms so I left them out and added 1 1/4 cup of cabbage and 1/4 cup of green peppers. The splenda and soy sauce is really what makes this dish. That slightly sweet taste makes it yummy and stand out so don't skimp on the splenda. All you need is half the packet or just sprinkle a little bit over the meat. I have always been a fan of sweetened meats. That is probably why I gained my weight! The dreaded sweet tooth! Thank goodness for splenda! I hope you enjoy this recipe!

I love this recipe! I've made it three times in the last two weeks.
Thanks so much for the yummy recipe!
My hubby was skeptical before we tried it, and now he wants to make a weekly dinner:)
Another delish recipe, thank you! Question though, I usually weigh my veggies rather than measure. Tonight I measured the cabbage and then dumped it onto the scale just to see the difference and was quite surprised that it weighed WAY more than the conversion chart allowed. I, of course, went with the measured cup justifying that it would all work out after cooking. Hope I wasn't wrong and messed myself up. Let me know!
This recipe is really tasty and I don't even really like cabbage.
This is basically something I know from Nebraska as a "runza". It is a czechoslovakian dish with hamburger, cabbage and onion all fried together. It is wrapped in a dough and then baked. There are fast-food restaurants in NE that serve these yummy things! I know exactly how this medifast recipe will taste!
