BEEF AND BULGUR CASSEROLE



Beef and Bulgur Casserole image

Simple, easy to make - and delicious. My family calls this one "slop" too - because it's not a casserole that holds its shape when served. It comes out in a sloppy scoop, onto the plate. But, even though the nickname "slop" doesn't sound too appetizing - I promise this tastes good. It's often requested by the people in my house. I got this from a website with lots of Weight Watchers Core recipes. This recipe is core if you use Fat Free or Soy parmesan.

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/3 cup cracked, medium grain bulgur
Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups boiling water
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 medium onion, finely diced
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 English cucumber, sliced into half-moons
Warm pita, for serving
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Large pinch ground allspice
1/4 cup prepared hummus
1/4 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon lemon juice
8 ounces ground beef
6 cups baby spring greens
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds

Steps:

  • Place the bulgur and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl and add the boiling water. Soak until tender but slightly chewy, 20 minutes. Strain to remove any excess moisture.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a pinch of black pepper. Cook, stirring, until soft and starting to brown, about 4 minutes. Add the cumin and allspice, and stir until very fragrant and the onions are evenly coated in the spices, about 1 minute. Transfer the onions to a large bowl to cool. Carefully wipe out the skillet to use again later.
  • Mix together the hummus, yogurt, 1 teaspoon of the lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • Add the bulgur, ground beef, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to the onions. Gently mix together and form 4 patties, each just under 1/2-inch thick.
  • Heat the reserved skillet with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat. When the oil starts to shimmer, add the patties, making sure to leave some space between them. Cook until the patties are cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side.
  • Toss together the greens, pomegranate seeds, cucumber, the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice, the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and salt and pepper to taste in a large bowl. Divide the patties and salad among four plates. Serve each with pita and a dollop of the yogurt sauce.

Bulgur, Spinach and Tomato Casserole image

Bulgur is a versatile cracked wheat product that can lend a nutty flavor to a variety of dishes. Because this is a casserole, it calls for coarse bulgur, which can also be used in pilafs, soups and stuffed vegetables. It is paired here with spinach, tomatoes and cheese for a bubbly and hearty dish.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 1h45m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup coarse (#3) bulgur
Salt to taste
1 28-ounce can chopped tomatoes with juice
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 plump garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice or cinnamon (to taste)
Freshly ground pepper
1 12-ounce bunch spinach, stemmed and washed thoroughly in 2 changes of water, or 2 6-ounce bags baby spinach
2 teaspoons dried mint or 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas (1 can, drained and rinsed) (optional)
2 ounces Gruyère, or 1 ounce each Gruyère and Parmesan, grated (1/2 cup)

Steps:

  • Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the bulgur and salt to taste, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 15 to 20 minutes, until the water is absorbed. Remove from the heat, uncover and place a clean dish towel over the pan, then replace the lid. Allow to sit undisturbed for 10 minutes or longer. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Pulse the tomatoes with their juice in a food processor. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in a large, wide skillet or a shallow 3-quart saucepan and add the garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds, and add the tomatoes, sugar, salt to taste, and allspice or cinnamon. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until the tomatoes have cooked down to a fragrant sauce, about 20 minutes. Taste, adjust salt and add freshly ground pepper.
  • Steam the spinach until it wilts, 1 to 2 minutes, rinse briefly with cold water and squeeze out excess water. Do this by the handful to get out all the water. Chop coarsely. Add to the bulgur. Add the mint and the chickpeas if using, 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce and toss together.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Oil a 2-quart gratin or baking dish. Spread the bulgur mixture in the dish in an even layer. Top with the remaining tomato sauce. Sprinkle on the cheese. Drizzle on the last tablespoon of olive oil. Bake 30 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned. Remove from the heat and allow to sit for 10 minutes before serving.
