hi every1 i just had a nice dinner............i browned some mince meat with 3 slices of a large onion and 4 large mushrooms, i then added a little hot water and an oxo cube i let it reduce a little then put it in a casserole dish and grated cheese on top then i put it in the oven for half and hour yummmmmmm it was nice

My mouth is watering. Definitely LowCarb.


Take care

Sounds very nice Mal. Its always good when an experiment works.

I read your recipe - mouth watering, and realised I'd been eating that for years, and never thought of it as a low carb recipe.....probably because it was on the bottom of my mom's shepards pie....which had about 2 cups of mashed potatoes on top at the time!!

Thanks for reminding me! I shall have that soon!

amb ive had a brainwave what about putting mashed cauilflower on top instead of mash? you could even add some soya milk 2 the cauli to make it really creeamy? what do you think?

hey hey hey....i'm liking this! cauliflower on top...stick some brocc in there as well hmmm what other low carb veggies could we use? i see a very low carb tasty version of shepards pie appearing before our eyes!!

the prob i have is im not a great lover of veg i only like cauliflower,mushrooms,onion,sweetcorn,cucumber and tomatoes and not much else so i will stick with the cauliflower but you could try all different things. im gonna try cornbeef hash tomorrow what do you think of this: mash up a tin of cornbeef in a casserole, and put cauli on top again can you think of any veg that might go with the cornbeef? thanks mal

hee hee - thats MY ick factor - could never get into corned beef - my hubby loves it tho - and thinks he is deprived cause i never cook it. (to be honest, i wouldnt know how!)

i have always found it hard to come up with low carb veggies other than brocc and cauli - i suppose everyone would say have a salad, but sometimes you want a nice warm meal - especially with this lovely british summer we are having (sarcasm sarcasm)

do you like spinich or cabbage? i suppose you could wilt some spinich with olive oil and garlic mmmm yummy (lots of s & p) and parmesan cheese is lovely.....you could stuff cabbage leaves with the corned beef, and then put tinned tomatoes and garlic and onions on top of the cabbage things and into a casserole dish and into the oven for a half hour or so (another variation of one of my moms dishes!) she used beef & rice with basil & oregano - i think i know what corned beef tastes like from accidently having a corned beef pasty *grin* but i am not sure if it would go with garlic and stuff - you would have to educate me on that one!

good luck!

sorry abm i only ever buy tinned corned beef which actually doesnt need any cooking just heating up lol so im not sure what would go with it untill i try it lol what im gonna miss the most is lasagne thats my favourite wish i could think of a way of making that any ideas???? mal
