Double the time for frozen fish. Main Dishes - Casseroles Menu planning is easy when you serve a casserole. Since a casserole is a combination of foods, you can keep side dishes simple by serving a plain vegetable, fresh fruit, green salad, bread or rolls alongside. A vegetable casserole also works great with a simple entree. Use a variety of colors, flavors, textures, and temperatures to make the menu more interesting.
Red meat is much higher in saturated fat and cholesterol than chicken, turkey, or fish.
When buying beef, look for USDA select or choice grades such as round steak, sirloin tip, tenderloin and super lean ground beef. Avoid prime cuts which are heavily marbled, making them high in saturated fats. All cuts of veal and venison are lean. Lean meats are made more tender with long, slow cooking. Marinate lean meats with acid-based marinades which contain lemon or lime juice, vinegar, or tomato products.
