Bowl of Semi-Health
Posted

The other day I was in the mood for some "comfort" food, so I concocted the following:
Potato Gravy Bowl
1 or 2 small potatoes, peeled & cleaned
Cut the peeled and cleaned potatoes lengthwise; slice into cubes. Cut the turkey hot dog lengthwise; slice into cubes. Coat a skillet with nonstick cooking spray; add the cubed potatoes and hot dog. Mix well. Season with salt and black pepper; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally. In a small saucepan, prepare the country gravy mix. Make sure to use gravy mix that comes in "powdered" form and calls for water to blend. When potatoes are tender, remove from heat and place in a bowl. Add kernel corn. Ladle gravy mixture on top. There is no need to stir the dish as the gravy seeps to the bottom of the bowl.
The dish can also be made with onions and green peppers. The recipe is surprisingly healthy – no butter in the frying process and the gravy mixture is made using water rather than milk.
According
to info on the
McCormick Country Gravy packet, nutritional values are as
follows: Fat: 3.5g; Cholesterol: 0g; Sodium: 260mg; Total Carbs:
4g; Fiber: 0g; Sugars: 0g; Protein: 0g. There are 50 calories
per serving (4 servings per packet).
Not the modicum of health, but not so bad, either. Anyway, no apologies – I enjoyed it.
