Hey umpa, is there any way to make chilli that fits in with the food plan?
-
Yes Beebs! Chili traditionally has no beans.If you are looking for chili con carne (with beans) you can use black soy beans.I buy them at the grocery store(food Lion) in the organic section or the health food store.i can even send you a cornbread recipe for your almond flour.
send me your favorite recipe and i will convert it.
-
I like chilli without beans best. I just dont know what to put in it that's ok.
-
Ok I use tomato paste and sauces in my chilli so..how do I work around that?
-
I need your measurements.A little tomatoe paste is okay.Send me your recipe and me and doug will convert it
-
I use 1 large can of tomato sauce and 1 of tomato paste 1 pound of hamburger with diced onions. Chilli powder ground cumin. And kinda what ever else I decide to throw in on the spur of the moment...
-
I will look it up today ;D
-
For a pound of ground beef use 1 1/2 cups of low carb spagetti sauce.Look for a spagetti sauce at the grocery store that is 5 carbs or less per serving.Let me know how this works.When my grandson leaves i will make this myself and play with it.Chili is one of my favorites!don't forget the grated cheddar on top!YUM!
-
Now I just need a cracker substitute lol!
-
How about cornbread?
-
How can I make cornbread without corn? Almond meal?
-
;D You are getting good at this Beebs!!! You are correct! Dixie Diner sells cornbread, but i have a recipe you make with almond flour.I will dig it out and post it today! It is wicked low in carbs! How did the chili turn out?
-
I havent made it yet. I just had surgery and Im fairly limited on what I can do atm. Im hoping to make it next week.
-
:-[ you okay??What did you have surgery for Beebs?
-
Im having a really hard time finding a low carb/ low sugar spaghetti sauce.....Im not sure what to do or even what the serving size should be or the carb count. I seem to have the most trouble with that and havent been cooking much because of it. Now Im getting really tired of my boring diet just cause I have trouble figuring out the carb count and serving size when I do cook something. How do you add it up when there are different ingredients that all have different net carbs? How do you know the portion size?
-
I have in my hand a spagetti sauce I just bought at the grocery store called Victoria Roasted Garlic Sauce.It is 4 grams carb -2grams fiber=2 grams of carbs per half cup serving. Below i have typed out a chili sample recipe.
Chili
1/2 cup onions= 5 net carbs
1 cup spagetti sauce=4 net carbs
ground beef= 0 carbs
dry spices(chili powder,onion powder,garlic powder,etc)=0
Grated cheese for topping =1 carb
_________________________________
Total 10 carbs for 2 large bowls ( i don't know how many people you are cooking for)
A hint* marinara sauces are usually lower if you cant find a low carb spagetti sauce*
You should not be going without anything.Thats why fat to skinny works my friend its because there is a replacement for everything!Thats why we have ask umpa!
-
I will try and find something next time Im at the store but last time I looked everything was very high-carb.
-
Can we use canned tomatoes? None of the sauce here is lower carb. The canned tomatoes I like have net carb of 5 per 1/2 cup.
-
Sure! Please let me know how it turns out. ::)
-
Where did you find the low carb sauce?
-
We travel....allot so finding the lowest carb pasta sauce is always an exercise in label reading. The latest find came from Albertsons super market. Go to your local market and start flipping the cans, read the labels and find the lowest.You'll be shocked at the amount of sugar in many brands!. Once you find what you like share the brand on the forum.
The brand we found is Victoria Marinara- 2 grams per 1/2 cup
-
I found some actual chilli sauce for 1 net carb per serving. El Pasco or some such. I add 1/2 pound of lauras lean ground beef. Spices to taste and Voila!
-
Can you get us the exact name of the product?
-
It's called El Pato. It's a hot mexican style tomato sauce. I bought it at my local Walmart.
-
so if i use a quart of homemade canned tomatoes...with only canning salt added ...do you think that would be the same also...
5 per 1/2 cup?
-
Tomatoes are high in sugar. They are a fruit after all.
-
yes, i am seeing that... what a shame... Autumn time is when we have always made it and i wanted to work on something now for then...gonna keep digging...thanks beebs~i am learning do much from you and the others~~ bless you

Doug /Umpa
Do these numbers seem right?
Carbohydrate and Fiber Counts for Tomatoes
* ½ cup chopped tomatoes: 2.5 grams effective (net)carbohydrate plus 1 gram fiber and 16 calories
* 1 tomato, 3 inches in diameter (6.5 oz): 5 grams effective (net) carbohydrate plus 2 grams fiber and 33 calories
* 1 medium cherry tomato (about ½ ounce): ½ gram effective (net) carbohydrate and 3 calories
* 1 medium plum tomato (about 2 oz): 2 grams effective (net) carbohydrate plus 1 gram fiber and 11 calories
Thanks!
-

You all made me hungry for chili with a previous post, and you were talking about what beans to use. I didn't use beans, but had some cauliflower left over and used that.
In a electric skillet I slowly sauteed with Olive Oil:
1 clove of garlic
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/8 cup chopped celery
1 cup cauliflower - small pieces washed (RAW) I wanted a more crisp texture to the finished recipe.
1/2 Teaspoon Kick-en Chicken spice!
I cooked hamburger separately in my Tupperware cooker then added to sauteed mixture and cooked for a couple of minutes.
I then added one 15 oz can of tomato sauce for that is what I had. I think it was 2 carbs for 1/4 cup.
I let the mixture cook covered for awhile until I was too hungry to wait, and then had a bowl on top of romaine lettuce with a slice of Avocado, and a couple of no carb olives! And sprinkled cheese on top of the Chili.....
I have pictures but just couldn't figure out how to add to my post. I love this chili, and each person making recipe can use amounts according to how they like the different flavors.
-
What's the serving size and carb count? It sounds good.
-
Yummy goodness :o
-
Ohh yeah......

Yes Beebs! Chili traditionally has no beans.If you are looking for chili con carne (with beans) you can use black soy beans.I buy them at the grocery store(food Lion) in the organic section or the health food store.i can even send you a cornbread recipe for your almond flour.

Umpa...my husband loves Wendy's chili so he wants beans in it. He didn't care for the sound of the low carb version w/o any beans. To keep it low carb you mentioned black soy beans? with that added how much of the beans should be added and how will that change the amount of net carbs per serving? He would rather stay as close to the original recipe as possible. Can you help????
Here is the official Wendy's chili recipe...work your magic. :D
Wendy's Chili
1 - pound ground beef
1 - 14.5 Oz. can tomato sauce
1 - 14.5 Oz. can kidney beans (with liquid)
1 - 14.5 Oz. can pinto beans (with liquid)
1/2 cup diced onion
1/4 cup diced green chilies
1/4 cup diced celery
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 teaspoons cumin powder
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup water
1. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat; drain off the fat.
2. Using a fork, crumble the cooked beef into pea-size pieces.
3. In a large pot, combine the beef plus all the remaining ingredients, and bring to a simmer over low heat. Cook, stirring every 15 minutes, for 2 to 3 hours.
Makes about 12 servings.
Thanks!
-
low carb tomato sauce and black soy beans are the only changes I see you need to make
-
Beebs gets a gold star!
Beebs is right, you have to pick the lowest tomatoe product(which for me is usually marinara) you can find.Black soy beans I buy are one carb per serving.
Please post your results its a great recipe!
-
Eden Soy Black Soy Beans are only 3.5 carbs for the whole can!!!
-
I still have not found them anywhere or they with the regular beans in the grocery store ?
-
Thanks beebs! I'll look for them. He just made the traditional way and I had a taste of the soupy part and it was fabulous...now to get him to try it with the low carb tomato and black soy beans. lol
-
I order mine from amazon.
-
Izzet when I make mine I put the soybeans in when I put the raw groundbeef in the pan.Then the veggies and rest of ingredients.That way by the time its done the beans are soft like kidney beans. ;)
Don't forget chilidogs with the leftovers! :)
-
I made my chili in the crock pot so the black soy beans had lots of time to soften and pick up the flavour of the spices.
-
I don't own a crockpot.I know there are alot of people that use them though.Crockpot recipes would be another good recipe board to have. ;)
-
We just purchased one for a great price at Walmart and hubby is enjoying making his chili and we thought about cooking a corned beef and other things we can let simmer. I wish I could find those black soy beans locally...will check the health food stores. I love me some chili especially in the winter months. Need to come up with some good low carb soup recipes as well! :)
-
I love soup and salad! Soups are very easy! ;)
-
Eden Soy products are carried by all the health food /Whole foods stores I have been to Izzet.Maybe yours can order them?? :)
