I found a recipe for Bob's No Bean Chili, and made a huge, delicious crock pot worth. It was very low carb (I added riced cauliflower and zucchini to mine to make it a more complete meal, so the carb count slightly went up), but it was still under 10 grams... so filling and so delicious.
This looks like a batch cooking dream recipe. I have been looking for more things to batch cook and freeze by the quart and this looks perfect. You're an angel! I think I'd use butter instead of ground beef fat because butter in chili is amazing and allowed on this woe.0 -

Can you post the recipe?0 -
For something quick and easy I like johnsonville brats, with a lot of mustard!! 2grams of carbs per sausage.0

Last night I tried the Aidells gluten free Italian style chicken meatballs and they were so good. 2 carbs for 3 meatballs (I had 4 and that ended up being a good portion for me). I baked them in a mix of alfredo and no sugar added marinara, topped with mozzarella. I served with a little spaghetti squash.
Very easy dinner as the meatballs just needed heated about 15 minutes and I always microwave my spaghetti squash.0 -

I love brats too! Sometimes we just forget the simple things. lol0 -

Oh, and barrel cured sauerkraut! Relatively low in carbs, fits perfectly with the brat AND mustard...and has fabulous probiotics!

I made a meat ball dish last week, (frozen bag of Perfect Cook meatballs) I used just plain Ragu, motz cheese & boiled shredded cabbage for bulking it up. It was soooo good I will try the chicken meatballs with it this week for a better food choice... thanks.

Smoked Oysters, smoked salmon, sliced turkey rolled up with a dollop of mayo, (maybe someday I'll try some of the homemade mayonnaise recipes I've seen here.) almonds, macademia nuts, sardines, pork rinds, bacon jerky, hard boiled eggs...
I love to grab a rotisserie chicken for a quick meal. I eat all the dark meat and save the breast for my cocker spaniel.0 -
Oooooh....this is such a good thread!!

Here is the recipe. I subbed 1 can of organic tomato sauce + 1 jalapeno pureed in the blender for the Rotel, skipped the onion and green bell peppers for a tablespoon of onion powder, and added a cup or riced cauliflower and 1 cup shredded zucchini.
@KnitOrMiss, I know you don't do too spicy, so adjust jalapeno and chili powder to taste.
Oh, and I made it in the slow cooker on high for about 5 hours.0 -
@ettaterrell MFP recipe importer puts the Stuffed Cube Steak (using approx 4 oz piece of meat) at 403 cal, 21 g fat, 7 g carb and 47 g protein. Eliminate onion, garlic & sundried tomato to lose some carbs if you want.
When I make it with chicken (dubbed chicken bombs at our house!) I slice partially frozen breasts into three thinner pieces. They are much smaller than the beef, so I have classified one serving as two pieces (half slice of bacon each) and I never add the extra stuff, just spinach sauteed in coconut oil and a splash of ACV. So for two chicken bombs, MFP says 318 cal, 13 g fat, 2 g carb and 45 g protein.
IMO the chicken requires the extra zing of the goat cheese. When using beef, I happily use goat or cream cheese. Don't notice much difference.0 -
I'm a big fan of cheesy chicken. You will need a chicken breast, 1 slice of mozzerella cheese, then mix 1 T of mayo, 1T of sour cream, 1T of parmesian cheese and spread on top of the mozzerella slice. Bake in oven at 400 for about 30 minutes. Can definitely make a batch (will need to cook longer the more you have up to 1 hour).0

Some great ideas!! Keep them coming!! I did make a batch up of tuna salad this week. (1can tuna, 1Tbs mayo, mustard and dill relish and 1 boiled egg) I had 1/2 of it last night dipping pork rinds in it lol. Very good! Quick snack or lunch low cal and carb (normal dip w celery but I needed something more)0

Costco pepperoni sticks.
I LOVE hard parmesan cheese sliced thin. Has a 'nutty' effect in my mouth that is very satisfying.
These two things also travel well, which keeps me from getting derailed when I'm out and about.0 -
Yay @ettaterrell! Tuna with pork rinds! Yummy snack that's satisfying! Good for you dear!
Loving all these recipes too!0 -
I like to precook a batch of seasoned ground beef (or put some beef in the slow cooker and shred when done) to make a real quick tex-mex bowl....topped with cheese, sour cream, jalapenos and/or picante.0

Did you brown the meat first, or just toss everything in there? I want to use the crockpot too, but not sure if I need to pre-cook the meat.0 -
@sweetteadrinker2, I browned the meat, I don't think you need to, but for me it tastes and looks better browned.0

My grab and go are sausages. May sound disgusting, but for me they're portable, I cook a bunch and keep them in the fridgte and just grab them when I'm hungry and walk around the house eating it as I go. I don't reheat most things either. Bacon as well just cold out of the fridge, or crumbled on my salad.
Pretty boring but it works for me. Hard to find lower carb or gluten free ones but they're out there.
I try to stay zero carb and as such I'm rarely hungry and I HATE cooking or even reheating. Don't know why, but as a result I only eat a "meal" about once a day. My "meal" is often what you say, lettuce with meat on it or if I'm really motivated, bacon and eggs.
I also will cube steak or pork, fry a big batch in left over bacon grease and eat that out of the fridge. It's also good to go to throw onto the salad if need be.0 -
OH and when I'm REALLY hungry and REALLY don't want to cook, I just load up my bullet proof coffee or tea with lots of fat and 2-3 eggs. Poof. Hunger gone, belly full, calories and energy up.
(yes indeed, I would be the first in line if they invented that pill you could take in the morning and you would never have to eat again)0
