Chili Recipes

[beebs]

Hey umpa, is there any way to make chilli that fits in with the food plan?

[umpa]

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.

[umpa]

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...

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!

[umpa]

How about cornbread?

[beebs]

How can I make cornbread without corn? Almond meal?

[umpa]

  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?

[beebs]

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.

[umpa]

  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?
