Serves:4 CarbsPerServing:7
Prep Time:30-min Effort:Average

Ingredients:

1-loaf pan 1-lb ground beef (or turkey or chicken)
1-med onion (chopped finely)
12-mushrooms (or around that; chopped finely, like onion/NOT sliced))
3-5 cloves of garlic (or less, if you’re a wimp! crushed/chopped finely )
2-3 TBS chopped parlsey1-egg
1/2 cup chicken broth (or water)
1-cup bread crumbs (or substitute; I use Keto Crumbs but you could

also just use less broth and more mushrooms/onion)
1/2-cup olive oil (you can use more if you’d like)
1-tsp salt (or 1-TBS soy sauce)
1/2-tsp black pepper

How to Prepare:

I make a wonderful meatloaf that can pass for a meatball-flavored
meal. You can slice it up and serve it with brown gravy and
vegetables or top with melted mozzarella and marinara sauce or break
it up into pieces and make into a beef stroganoff or however else
you feel like being creative…It’s a great thing to have around for
lunches or dinners. You can even freeze slices and have whenever you
feel like it. BTW-I think this is the best meatloaf I’ve ever had,
not like the traditional at all.

First, pre-heat oven for 375-degrees. Next, saute all the mushrooms,
onion, garlic, and parsley in a pan with the olive oil. Don’t let it
burn (garlic tastes yucky when burnt). When the onions are soft,
remove from heat to let cool down. In a large bowl, add meat, egg,
bread crumbs (or substitute), chicken broth (or water), salt (or soy
sauce), and pepper. When the sauteed mixture has cooled enough, add
it to the bowl and mix all ingredients (with very clean hands or
proper mixer) until everything is well-combined. Now, put mixture
into loaf pan (NO need to oil/grease pan as there is plenty of fat
already in the mixture from the olive oil). Put into the oven and
bake for 45-minutes. Voila! Now, you have a delicious, low-carb
meatloaf (that tastes sort of like a meatball) that you can serve up
all sorts of ways. Slice loaf into ten slices. There are about 3-gm
of carbs per each slice (or 30-gm carbs/loaf). Enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 lb. (4-6)skinless, boneless chicken breast
3 to 4 Tablespoons All purpose flour
3 Tablespoons Butter

Place each piece of chicken breast between two pieces of clear
plastic wrap; pound with flat side of meat mallet until 1/8 inch

Coat chicken lightly with flour.

In a 12 inch skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium
heat; add half of the chicken pieces. Cook for 2 min. on each side.

tablespoon of the butter and remaining chicken pieces; transfer to
the dish.

Melt remaining butter in the skillet. Add mushrooms.Cook and stir
