1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 cup onion, chopped
8 oz salsa
2 Tbsp taco seasoning mix
2 tbsp water
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup Atkins corn bread mix
1/4 cup oil
1/3 cup + 1 Tbsp water

12x7" dish. Mix corn bread mix, oil, water and egg, along with 1/2 cup.

remaining cheese on tamale pie. Bake another 5-10 minutes.
Serves 3 at 23 carb (13 NET carbs)
This is a little high in carbs and definitely NOT for induction. This
recipe uses the equivalent of 2 muffins for each serving. You could bake
the meat separately, and make 6 corn muffins and crumble one over each
portion to cut carbs.

Lasagna without Noodles
Ingredients:
8 oz ricotta cheese
10 meatballs, cut up
1/4 c tomato sauce
2 T Parmesan
shredded mozzarella
spaghetti squash (optional)
Fold meat into ricotta and stir in tomato sauce. (may need to use more than
1/4 cup depending on your taste). Sprinkle with Parmesan, top with
mozzarella. Heat in microwave until cheese melts. (Serves 2)
(I had leftover cooked spaghetti squash so I stirred it in before heating.
I also put the casserole under the broiler for just a few minutes 'cause I
like my cheese kind of brown and bubbly. This was real easy and tasted
great. Watch the carbs in the squash and tomato sauce.
