Tex-Mex/Appetizers-Side Dish

Yield:

12 servings, 2 rolls each

Ingredients:

Butter-flavored cooking spray
1 pound 96% fat-free ground beef
2/3 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup chopped green bell pepper
2 tablespoons 40% less sodium taco seasoning
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
2 loaves (1 pound each) frozen bread dough
1 cup shredded light Mexican cheese blend (4.5g fat per 1/4 cup)
Fat-free sour cream (optional)
Salsa (optional)

Directions:

1. Thaw dough according to package directions. Preheat oven to 400º F. Spray a 9- x 13-inch baking dish with butter-flavored cooking spray.
2. Brown ground beef in a large skillet. Add onion and green pepper. Sauté until onion is clear, approximately 5 minutes. Stir in taco seasoning and tomato sauce; remove from heat.
3. On a lightly floured surface, roll each loaf of bread dough into a 9- x 14-inch rectangle. Spread 1/2 of meat mixture and 1/2 of cheese over each loaf. Roll up, pinching seams to seal. Slice each loaf into 12 rolls.
4. Place in baking dish and spray with butter-flavored cooking spray. Bake 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350º F and bake 20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with salsa and fat-free sour cream, if desired.
