- Use regular ketchup in place of sugar free, just remember the sugar content will change as well as the points value.

- Substitute ¼ cup barbecue sauce or pizza sauce for the ketchup. Use a sugar free version if possible or nutritional information will change.
- To reduce fat more, substitute 2 egg whites for 1 whole egg.
- For extra tang and sweetness, stir in ½ tablespoon brown sugar substitute with 1 teaspoon cider vinegar to the ketchup.

🏫 The last word
Often times, making weight watcher recipes is as easy as making a small change or two to the ingredients. For this recipe, I used lean ground beef, sugar free ketchup, light wheat bread (that is only 45 calories for 2 slices), and a lot of veggies.
I personally like my veggies to have a toothsome bite, but for those who do not care for this can saute the veggies by following the top tip above.
For the weight watcher points calculation, I used calculator.net and use the most recent calculator for the ww plan. This is the one that is dated from Dec 2015 and on.
