Hello and Happy Monday everyone!

I have been going through a phase of ground beef. I have made chili, pizza, nachos, and spaghetti. Would like a friendly WLS ground beef recipe I could try...something new. I also have made lots of soups- taco, beef and veggie, and others.

 

Any suggestions are welcome!

I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!

i just made my version of west african peanut stew . . . . .

brown 2 lbs ground beef . . . place in colander and rinse with warm water to remove fat globs.  Throw into pot.  Add a bag of butter nut squash cubes, large box of mushrooms, coarsely chopped zucchini (2) and yellow squash (3), add water to cover, 4 beef bouillon cubes, generous squeeze of ginger and garlic in a tube, 2 tbls of agave (usually gets tiny sweetness from sweet potatoes), a can of diced tomatoes, sriracha sauce to taste, and in lieu of peanut butter . . . 3 heaping tablespoons of pb2 . . . simmer until cooked and thickened.

was going to make a ground beef and cabbage stew but the canada geese were hungry, so i gave them raw cabbage and cracked corn(ran out to the feed store) and had to rethink dinner :)

My great grandmother always made a meal called Con carny. Its ground beef, kindey beans, diced tomatoes and wide ribbon pasta. Salt to taste
You have to drain as much liquid as you can from the diced tomatoes and stew them with some butter, you have to cook them long enough to scortch them. Then you brown the beef. Cook the pasta and throw in kinday beans and put it all together. I really liked it growing up, and I make it myself now that she's gone.
