Sloppy Joe Potato Pile-Up

I continue to experiment with ingredients with zero Weight Watcher points while striving to get delicious flavors and food that doesn't seem like deprivation.

On the WW plan that I am on presently, potatoes have zero points which helps tremendously when you only have 23 points on any given day!  Weigh Zero Points against Four Points for a regular burger bun.  See?  You have to be creative.  

So I decided that I wanted Sloppy Joes, but didn't want to use any more points than I needed to.  Sloppy Joe Potato Pile-Ups was the result!  A delicious result as well.

Here's what I started the process with:

1 lb. 93/7 ground beef

2 cloves of garlic

1 can Manwich

5 medium-ish potatoes

Reduced Fat Mexican Blend Cheese

Finely Chopped Onions

Fresh AND pickled jalapenos (I prefer fresh; Sweet Harold loves the pickled variety)

I peeled and diced the potatoes and lightly sprayed with olive oil spray.  Then I seasoned them well with Hardin's Seasoning.

I placed them in the air fryer on 425℉ for about 10 minutes, then flipped them around with a metal spatula and put them back in for about another 6-7 minutes.  You want them golden brown and crispy!

While the potatoes were cooking, I prepared the beef.  In a large skillet over medium high heat, I browned the beef, breaking it up as it cooked.  Halfway through I added the chopped garlic cloves and let the meet finishing browning.

Then I added the Manwich, lowered the heat to low and let it simmer while the potatoes finished cooking.

Now the fun of "piling up!"

This is a salad sized plate, y'all.  I didn't fill up a big dinner plate.

I had about two cups of the diced potatoes.

Then I spooned over a couple spoonfulls of the Sloppy Joe mixture.

Next about 2 Tablespoons of the reduced fat cheese.

A little onion and a few slices of jalapenos.

And just a tad of sour cream to finish it off!

Of course, if you wanted to add red onion or guacamole or whatever topping you like, please do!

Our verdict?  YUM!!!
