Heat the oven to 375F degrees. Spray an 8-inch square casserole dish and set aside.
Spray and heat a 9-inch skillet and saute the meat for 2 minutes over medium high heat, or until lightly colored. Drain the meat if a lot of liquid has accumulated and place the meat on a plate.
Add the onion and garlic and saute for 3 minutes, or until softened.
Return the meat to the pan and stir in the Italian seasoning. Season lightly with salt and pepper and cook for 1 minute.
Turn off the heat and stir in the cream cheese, ketchup (or marinara sauce) and mustard.
Spread meat mixture in prepared pan and top with the egg whites. Top with cheese and bacon bits.
Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown and slightly bubbly.
Serve hot or warm.
Recipe Notes
Ground turkey works just as well as beef, if you're feeling like a slightly lighter version.Additional veggies like cherry tomatoes can be added; try decorating the top with them.For a distinctive Italian flair, substitute low fat mozzarella or fontina cheese.Ketchup will add that traditional tang, while marinara sauce is a little more subtle. Both are delicious.For a spicier dish, go for the horseradish mustard or a strong Dijon. Trader Joe's Dijon mustard is a real zinger, so if you use it beware!A milder spicy brown mustard or yellow mustard will be fine if you're looking for a mild, less assertive route.If the casserole looks cooked but has yet to nicely brown, turn the temperature to broil for 1 to 2 minutes.Serving size: ½ recipe9*SmartPoints (Green plan)9*SmartPoints (Blue plan)9*SmartPoints (Purple plan)8*PointsPlus (Old plan)Click here to see your WW PersonalPoints for this recipe and track it in the WW app or site.
