meatloaf. not exactly low-carb, since you will need to add a filler like cornflakes or breadcrumbs. but, one dish that will net you sandwiches for the rest of the week, everyone likes meatloaf (comfort food) and freezes great. add about 1 cup bread crumbs, 1/3 cup katsup, 1 large egg, salt & pepper to taste, 1 tbsp dried herb of your choice (oregano, basil, italian seasonings, whatever you like best) and a dash of worchestershire sauce. mix about 1/3 katsup & 2 tbsp worchestershire & spread on top of loaf & bake at 350f for 1.5 – 2 hours, or until internal temperature reaches 160f.

Fry cut potatoes, onions and a lb round of burger and any other fresh vegetable in a huge pot until the burger is done. Add two large cans of diced tomatoes, the tomato cans filled with water again, and a can of beef broth.
Simmer about 15 min with the lid on
add one each with the processing liquid:
Green beans
Peas
Carrots
Corn
Simmer another 15 min after adding salt and fresh ground pepper to taste. Makes a weeks worth

How about a Mushroom Swill Burger over a Green Salad??
I had all kinds of ideas, but going low carb limited me. But, this is different.
Your 2 lbs burger, shape into 4 patties, salt and pepper
12 oz box of sliced mushrooms
4 slices swiss cheese (or 8, if you are like me!!)
Serve with a salad (ranch, blue cheese or other carb friendly dressing, avocado, red onions and I like a combination of spring mix and romaine!)
Directions: Broil, grill or pan fry your burger (I use a Foreman grill) When burgers are almost done, saute mushrooms in olive oil over medium or medium high heat. Place a slice of swiss cheese over each patty and give it a second to melt a little. Plate the patty and cover it in the mushrooms. It should be nice and oowy gooey. Serve the burger warm over your salad. YUM.

Here are a couple for you
This delicious recipe involves ground beef, zucchini, tomato, garlic and olive oil. Mix it all together and enjoy something low carb, healthy, and tasty! You can serve this with any salad or veggie side, but we took the photo with just the main dish.
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 small to medium zucchini diced to 1/2" to 3/4" cubes
1/2 cup mushrooms (diced as above)
1 plum tomato (diced as above)
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup tomato sauce
4 cloves garlic finely chopped
1-2 T olive oil
grated parmesan or romano cheese
shredded cheddar / mozzarella / "pizza cheese"
Get everything cut. Heat a large frying pan, sauce pan, or Wok on high heat. Start browning the ground beef. Once you have a nice sear on most of the meat, add in the zucchini, mushrooms and garlic. Sprinkle in a small amount of black pepper and salt. Mix and continue to cook for a couple minutes.
Add the water and plum tomato, then cover. Turn the heat down and simmer for about 5 minutes. Add the tomato sauce and olive oil. Mix it all up and continue to simmer for 5-10 minutes to reduce and thicken the mix. Optionally, you can add a bit of carb-free thickener to get a saucier result. This latter is preferred if you intend to serve this over a low-carb pasta.
Turn off the burner and let it settle for five more minutes to thicken a bit more. Easiest to serve in bowls, but plates work as well. Sprinkle your favorite grated and/or shredded cheeses over the top.

Kheema-Spiced Ground Beef
Ingredients:
4 tbsp vegetable oil
2 bay leaves
1 piece cinnamon stick – (3 long)
1 1/2 cup finely-chopped onion
1 tbsp grated ginger
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp ground coriander seed
1 tbsp ground cumin seed
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tbsp tomato paste
2 lb ground beef
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground mace
1 tsp salt, or to taste
1/4 tsp cayenne – (to 1/2), or to taste
Instructions:
In a large frying pan, heat the oil over high heat. Add the bay leaves and
cinnamon. Cook for a few moments until the bay leaf darkens.
Add the onion, ginger and garlic. Cook over medium heat until the onion
turns dark brown.
Add the coriander, cumin and turmeric. Cook for two minutes. Add the
tomato paste and mix it into the onions.
Add the beef and cook, breaking it up until browned. Add 1/2 cup water,
the nutmeg, mace, salt and cayenne.
Turn the heat to low. Cover and simmer for an hour, stirring frequently
and adding more water to prevent the mixture from sticking.
Alternatively, you can cook the dish in the oven at 300 degrees for an
hour, checking occasionally to make sure that the water has not evaporated.
This recipe yields 6 servings.

Comments: This is great with stir-fried cabbage, grilled zucchini or green
beans. I like it too, with chopped tomato, avocado and cilantro on top.
The kheema is dry — by that I mean that it is not thick and bound with a
sauce like chili. You can use lamb in place of the beef.

Try the above link to a different recipe. I know it specifies turkey but try it with the beef. I made this according to recipe & my veggie hating child liked this. Give it a whirl, it’s yummy.
