Recipe Notes
3.8g net carb per serving

Meatballs and gravy (crockpot meal). Season meat with salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder. Make into about 2 inch meatballs. Place in crockpot. In separate bowl, mix one can of beef broth, one can of cream of mushroom soup with roasted garlic, one packet of lipton onion and mushroom soup and little salt and pepper (can add a little flour to thicken). Pour over the meatballs and cook on low for about 7 hours. You can throw in veggies like carrots or a can of sliced mushrooms. Eat the gravy over mashed potatoes or rice.

My family likes porcupine meatballs, ground beef stroganoff and empanadas

Definitely bookmarking this thread! I also have a freezer full of lean grass-fed beef with another 1/2 (maybe 1/4 this time) coming in the fall, so need to really use up a lot before then. I'll be trying many of these posted recipes.

My grandmother always made something she just called "hot dish". It's basically a goulash (clean out the refrigerator) casserole. It was different every time, but I still remember always delicious. I rarely use recipes, so the amounts are just use your best judgment. You can make this in about 15 minutes or less.

The basics:
Ground beef, browned
Canned tomatoes, tomato sauce or a jar of pasta sauce
Whatever veggies you have on hand (fresh or frozen)
Dried herb seasonings (like oregano, basil, thyme)
Garlic powder
Cooked noodles or rice

Cook the noodles or rice same time you're browning the beef. If I'm using fresh veggies (onions, zucchini, peppers, mushrooms, broccoli) I just cook in the same pan as the beef. Throw everything else together and call the family for dinner.

I add hot sauce to mine and grated cheese for the husband. I've recently been using some amazing gluten-free red lentil penne pasta, so upping the fiber quotient.

Oh I should have said Moussaka.

We like this recipe:

Heat 2tsp oil in skillet, cook 1 medium onion (sliced) and 2 medium carrots (sliced) over medium heat for 5 min

Crumble in 1lb ground beef. Increase heat to med-high and cook 5min. Stir in 2tsp cinnamon, 1tsp ginger, 1tsp cumin, 1/4tsp salt and 1/4tsp pepper. Cook 1 min

Add 1 cup beef broth, 1can chickpeas, 1/2c golden raisins, 1/2c dried apricots (chopped). Cover and simmer for 5 min

Meanwhile prepare couscous according to package directions. Spoon into platter and add beef mixture. Too with fresh cilantro and serve.

Thanks for the link I just checked that out definitely going to make that, it looks good.

The next time I may add tomatoes and onion to turn it onto Spanish rice like my Mom used to make when we were Young.

Pastel De Papa, they're so good.

I had never heard of this... after Googling now I MUST make it. Immediately.

This seems pretty close to shepherd's pie (minus the veggies, plus eggs). That's definitely a must.

Sloppy Joe's?

Also, this is the bomb

I'm not sure that you're aware of how much sodium is in that stuff.
