21 calories per serving!! Sign me up! Either that's a typo in Mastercook, or that is some lean sausage! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/wink.gif

That recipe does sound really good, but my DH and I are not sweet potato fans. Would it still be good with all russets I wonder?

Pay no attention to that nutritional info! You have to fiddle with MasterCook to get the nutritional info correct. No doubt, Mastercook did not recognize the sausage, among other things. It just leaves unrecognized items out of the nutritional totals.

Hmmm. I was going to edit the recipe in MC to see what I could come up with, but my version of Mastercook doesn't know "chicken sausage." I don't have any on hand to use to enter correct nutritional info. Maybe someone who has that issue will post the right numbers for us!

Here is what I got when I put the recipe into MasterCook:

279 Calories; 6g Fat (18.0% calories from fat); 15g Protein; 43g Carbohydrate; 4g Dietary Fiber; 49mg Cholesterol; 529mg Sodium. Exchanges: 2 1/2 Grain(Starch); 1 1/2 Lean Meat; 0 Fruit; 1/2 Fat.

The only sausage I could find in the MC software was chicken and apple sausage, so that is what the nutritional info is based on. Also, I just used regular hash browns in the nutritional calculations since MC didn't recognize the other kind.

I don't know how accurate this is...I hope it is in the ballpark, at least!

I just looked it up in the magazine, and it looks like MasterCook is way off...here are the correct numbers:
