Thank you so much for posting this... I travel with my hubby (he is an over the road trucker) and we are limited on refridgerator space. Love the face there are just a few ingredients and that it can go in a crockpot. We plan on going to the store today and I am going to make this. Beef does not agree with me (very gassy after eating it) so I will use ground turkey.
If you have any other recipes with a few ingredients, please let me know.
Thanks.

Doesn't give a fiber total.
Not,I use canned tomatoes and it cooks very quickly. I usually use tomato puree or something that is already pretty well cooked down.
It is quick and good. I often make a double recipe and freeze the extra. it defrosts quickly and well in the micro.
Good luck,

what do you wanna be when you grow up little girl? i wanna be a loser and sit on the bench sir! (45 lbs lost pre op) 300lbs starting weight, currently 141lbs! Lowest has been 135lbs and hoping to get back to that.
The only difference was that I mixed the savory ricotta with an egg and baked it to let it set. (1C ricotta with 1 egg, plus seasonongs)
I just now finally took a little out, added a small amount of sauce and heated it in the microwave. I think it just saved my sanity!

To celebrate here is a version on the Sugar Free Chocolate Cheesecake Cupcakes. The original recipe can be found on BTV.com and has sour cream in it. I gave up sour cream and replaced it with plain greek yogurt so I wanted to see how that worked with this recipe. IT WORKED GREAT! The entire family will love them.
Chocolate Cheesecake Cupcakes
1 box of Pillsbury Sugar Free Devil's Food Cake Mix
1 box of Jello SF FF Cheesecake Pudding Mix
3 eggs or ¾ cup eggbeaters
2 cups of fat free sour cream or greek yogurt
1/3 cup of vegetable oil or you can use applesauce
1/2 cup water
Preheat oven to 350. Place paper liners in cupcake tins (this recipe makes 24 regular-sized cupcakes - I made some mini ones as well). Divide batter among the liners and bake for 15 minutes (slightly less for minis).
I used the eggbeaters, greek yogurt and applesauce and upped the water to 1 cup. It still makes a very thick cake batter. I made 80 mini cupcakes with 1 tablespoon of batter in each cup. I still needed 14 minutes to cook them.
I iced mine with the Pillsbury Sugar Free Chocolate Icing in the can.
