SWEET AND SOUR BEEF AND CABBAGE

1 1/2 lbs lean ground chuck
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup sliced celery
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
2 tbsp dried parsley flakes
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 medium head of cabbage, cored, cut into 6 wedges (I cut mine up rather than wedges)
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1/4 cup vinegar
1 tbsp Splenda brown sugar blend

In a large skillet, over medium heat, cook the ground chuck, onion, celery, and bell pepper until the meat is browned and the veggies are tender. Drain in a colander and rinse with hot water. Wipe the skillet with paper toweling to remove excess grease. Return the mixture to the skillet. Sprinkle the parsley flakes, salt, pepper and garlic powder over the mixture. Arrange the cabbage wedges over the mixture. Combine the tomato sauce, vinegar, and Splenda brown sugar blend; stir until well blended. Pour the sauce over the cabbage and meat mixture. Cover and bring the ingredients to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer 15 to 20 minutes. Serve immediately while hot.

KETO COLE SLAW

Let me state up front that I do not follow the KETO diet plan nor do I recommend it. I do, however, use a recipe from time to time that sounds good. This recipe fits into that category. I saw this recipe on the internet; my info is in ( ). This is a tasty low-carb recipe. I believe the carbs per serving are less than 3g per 1 cup.


1 16oz bag of cole slaw mix
1/4 cup sour cream
3/4 cup mayonnaise (I use only olive oil mayonnaise)
1 tbsp Pyure (I use Splenda)

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and stir together until well combined.
