Dirty Rice
If you haven’t tried our Dirty Rice yet, then what are you waiting for?! It’s so easy to make and makes a great dinner for the whole family!
We’ve also got this Cajun Dirty Rice which is great if you prefer beef mince and like a bit of a cajun kick!
These recipes are easily adaptable too – if you prefer more of a kick then add some extra spices. You can also change the vegetables you use to suit your tastes.
Enchilada Lasagne
The Enchilada Lasagne has been really popular over on our Facebook Group! Spicy chilli beef, soft tortilla wraps and gooey cheese – perfect served with a salad.
It also makes a tasty and substantial lunch – just reheat thoroughly in the microwave. If you’re looking for other lunch ideas take a look at our Slimming & Weight Watchers Friendly Lunch Ideas article!
If Mexican food is your thing, why not try these Chilli Cheesy Nachos?
Bacon, Onion and Potato Bake
Our Bacon, Onion and Potato Bake is another really popular recipe, and is so simple but very comforting and definitely worthy of a position in our Top Slimming & Weight Watchers Friendly Dinner Recipes round-up!
This would work so well with any veg. We love this Buttery Carrot and Swede!
Lasagne
The Lasagne is a slimming friendly version of this Italian classic – all the same flavours but less calories! Our Top Slimming & Weight Watchers Friendly Dinner Recipes wouldn’t be the same without it!
We’ve even got a pasta-free version suitable for those who are looking for a gluten free option. Our Butternut Squash Lasagne uses butternut squash “sheets” instead of pasta!
Shepherd’s Pie
This Shepherd’s Pie is a great way to use up left over roast lamb, or a thrifty way to make a joint go further – and it’s absolutely delicious!
If you prefer to use minced beef, then our Cottage Pie will be right up your street! Perfect for the whole family.
You can pack either of these dishes full of vegetables, which not only helps to get your daily quota, but also helps to keep the cost of the meals down too by bulking out a small amount of meat.
Garlic Mushroom Risotto
Our Garlic Mushroom Risotto is probably the easiest risotto ever as we’ve used the Tefal Actifry to make it – no need to stand and stir it for ages! We’ve also included the stove top method in the recipe.
If you fancied a meaty version of this risotto, you could always cook some chicken and add it to the rice – it’s perfect just as it is though!
Firecracker Chicken
Bring a heap of colour to your dinner table with this Firecracker Chicken! This is another recipe for the versatile Tefal Actifry, but you can also make it on the stove.
You can make this as spicy or mild as you like. Add extra veg or swap the chicken for Quorn and you’ll have the perfect vegetarian friendly version!
Chicken Kebab
If you’re looking for a tasty treat without breaking the calorie bank, try our Chicken Kebab recipe!
It can be served with salad and pitta bread, or with rice and veg, or even in a sandwich!
Why not serve them with this Nando’s Spicy Rice?
Campfire Stew
If you’re looking for a family friendly, slow cooker recipe then this Campfire Stew is just what you need!
You can pop it on to cook at the beginning of the day and it’ll be ready in time for dinner!
It also reheats really well, so if you’ve got any leftovers then just keep in the fridge and heat up for lunch or dinner. Why not serve it with these Rustic Potato Wedges?
Hunter’s Chicken
Our slimming friendly version of the classic really hits the spot! Barbecue sauce, chicken and cheeeeeeese! Try this Hunter’s Chicken this evening!
Beef Stroganoff
If you’re looking for a low-calorie version of this classic then look no further! Our Beef Stroganoff has been a big hit over on our Facebook Group and tastes easily as good as the full fat version!
This dish would make a great dinner party main course – your guests will never believe you can eat meals like this on a slimming plan!
Chicken Fajita Pasta
The Chicken Fajita Pasta is packed full of all the flavours of fajita’s, without the calories from using traditional wraps. This would also work well for a lunch!
If you like to spice things up, then add some fresh chilli for a real kick!
One Pot Mediterranean Chicken Orzo
Pop this One Pot Mediterranean Chicken Orzo into the oven for a reminder of the Mediterranean sunshine! What’s more, there’s hardly any washing up as it’s a one pot recipe!
Orzo may look like rice, but it’s actually a type of pasta! You should be able to find it in any good supermarket.
Beef Ragu Fettuccine
This Beef Ragu Fettuccine is like a super meaty and rich bolognese, and a quick meal when cooked in the Instant Pot. You can also make it in the slow cooker – pop it on high for around 4-5 hours.
If you’d prefer a traditional bolognese, why not try out Spaghetti Bolognese!
Both of these recipes work really well with our Cheesy Garlic Bread – PWOARRRRR!
Diet Coke – Pepsi Max Chicken
A great family-friendly dinner in our Diet Coke – Pepsi Max Chicken! It’s a really quick and easy recipe to cook at the end of a long day.
You can use whatever veg you like and it’s perfect served with rice.
Toad In The Hole
Another low calorie version of an absolute classic, this Toad In The Hole is just amazing! Crispy yorkshire pudding batter with a fluffy centre, it’s comfort on a plate and a great way to round off our Top Slimming & Weight Watchers Friendly Dinner Recipes round-up!
Why not try this with our Gravy?
