Default Re: Cottage Pie (meat dish)

Good job, Carole. I just assume people know their allowances according to what level they are on, but not everyone is that way.

Let's see...
one block of cream cheese= 8 carbs
1lb hamburger meat = 0 carbs
1 cup Italian cut green beans = 14 carbs (4 of that is dietary fiber, just FYI)
2 cups cheddar cheese= 2-3 carbs
1 medium head of cauliflower= 30 carbs (14 of that is dietary fiber)
1/4 cup butter in mashed cauliflower= 0 carbs

Obviously, the cauliflower is the major protaganist in this story. Reducing and spreading the cauliflower extremely thin can reduce the carb count here drastically.

This is about 6 servings, although you can divide it up as a snack item into smaller tupperwares for 8 servings. Here is the total carb breakdown for that:

For 8 servings
55 carbs total in dish
6.87 carbs per serving

For 6 servings
9 carbs per serving


Happy eating!
