Don't get turned off by the list of ingredients! This is really easy. I cooked the spaghetti squash on the weekend and put in the fridge in a container. I always have some browned ground beef in the freezer, so this didn't take much time to assemble. (To cook spaghetti squash, pierce with fork, then put in the microwave for 15 min. Let cool a little, cut in half, scoop out seeds and run fork over the squash - it will separate into spaghetti-type strands). |

4 slices provolone (3) Using parchment paper, microwave each slice of provolone for 1-2 min til brown and crispy. Brown ground beef & onions, drain fat. Add spices and drained beans and heat. On each provolone shell, layer meat mixture, top with tomato, then cheese. Serves 2 @ 9.8 carbs This is a little high in carbs, but tasted SO good. The provolone shell was a little hard to cut. I might cut them in quarters next time and make "nachos" which can be picked up by hand. |

1 lb ground turkey Brown ground turkey. Remove from pan and add onions and garlic with a little oil. Cook til onions start to brown. Return turkey to pan and add all other ingredients. Mix well and simmer 5-10 min to blend flavors. (May need to add a little water, or a little more tomato sauce). Serves 3 @ 9 carb, 2 fiber, 265 cal, 13 fat, 28 protein. This is like bbq sloppy joes but with an unusual flavor due to the spices. You can probably cut the onion a little to save on carbs - maybe add some celery for the crunch. |

1/2 lb ground beef Brown ground beef; drain fat and remove from pan. Brown onions. Return beef to pan, add taco seasoning and water. Stir in salsa. Pour into greased 12x7" dish. Mix corn bread mix, oil, water and egg, along with 1/2 cup. Spread dough over beef filling. Bake 400 for 20-25 minutes. Sprinkle remaining cheese on tamale pie. Bake another 5-10 minutes. Serves 3 at 23 carb, 10 fiber, (13 NET carbs) 726 Calories; 53g Fat,43g Protein. This is a little high in carbs and definitely NOT for induction. This recipe uses the equivalent of 2 muffins for each serving. You could bake the meat separately, and make 6 corn muffins and crumble one over each portion to cut carbs. |
1 1/2 lbs ground beef Preheat oven to 350. Mix meat and other ingredients. Shape into firm oval loaf in shallow baking pan. Bake 1 hour. Total 11 carbs - serves 6 @ 1.8 ea. This was really good - very moist. When I removed it from the oven the baking pan was full of fat. I didn't pour it off; just let the meatloaf sit and soak it back up. (I've poured the fat off before and meatloaf was very dry.) |
