  • 3/4 pound (about 16) fingerling potatoes, quartered lengthwise
  • 1 pound ground beef (95% lean)
  • 1 cup lightly packed fresh baby spinach, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cup roasted red bell pepper, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cup canned cannellini (white kidney) beans, rinsed, drained
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomato salad dressing2 tablespoons reduced-fat basil pesto
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives, sliced
  • 2 pepperoncini peppers, sliced

Preparation

1. Place quartered potatoes in 3-quart saucepan. Add enough water to cover potatoes. Bring to boil; cook 10 minutes or until tender. Drain; set aside.

2. Meanwhile, brown ground beef in large nonstick skillet over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, breaking beef up into small crumbles; drain. Add spinach, roasted pepper, beans and dressing; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally.

3. Place cooked potatoes and pesto in medium bowl; toss gently until potatoes are well coated. Place potatoes in 13 x 9-inch baking pan so surface of potatoes is 4 inches from heat. Broil 3 minutes; remove from oven and stir. Return to oven; broil 1 to 2 minutes or until lightly browned.
