Eggroll in a Bowl or Eggroll Insides

Modified recipes from various sources and combined

In a large, deep skillet, brown/saute the following:

• 1 lb or less ground meat (pork, beef, lamb, chicken, etc.)

After the meat has browned, add:

• green onions, diced
• celery, diced

While the meat is browning, in a small bowl combine the ingredients below

• 5 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 1/2 cup soy sauce replacement (coconut aminos or heavily salted water)

Once the meat is cooked, add dry coleslaw mix to skillet and stir well. Pour soy sauce mixture into the skillet and stir, continuing to cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until cabbage is wilted, but still a bit crunchy. Serve with sliced green onion.

NOTE:
Alternatively, you can pre-saute the cabbage and just combine it with the cooked meat when you get to that point; this can save a little bit of time if you are in a rush.

Amish One-Pan Ground Beef & Cabbage Skillet

Modified from recipe by Smile Sandwich 

This looks like a variation of our Serious Goodness Casserole -- but done on the stovetop!

1 lb grass-fed ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1/2 - 1 head cabbage, chopped
1 Tbsp Ghee
1 clove garlic, minced
14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
8 oz marinara sauce, tomato sauce, or salsa
salt and pepper, to taste


Heat your pan to medium and brown the beef.

Then add the onion; continue cooking until translucent. Drain extra fat if needed (or leave it and don't use the ghee).

Add garlic and continue cooking for 1 minute.

Add ghee, cabbage, tomatoes, marinara/tomato sauce/salsa, salt and pepper to the pan and stir to combine.

Cover and simmer about 20 - 30 minutes until the cabbage is soft.

Meatloaf Muffins

Simmie Sinow

These were made using a square muffin tin pan that accommodates 12 muffins!

Number of Servings 12

2 lbs. ground turkey, beef, or your favorite ground poultry/meat
1 egg         
Low sugar marinara sauce or salsa
3 Tbsp Flaxseed meal
1 tsp Onion powder
1 tsp Garlic powder
Crushed garlic (optional)
½ tsp Sage
To taste Onion flakes or minced
Mushrooms
Squash or zucchini, cubed small
      
Combine all ingredients except the marinara sauce and mix well. Add enough marinara to make the mixture just a little on the “wet” side. With the mushrooms and squash, I ran both through about three pulses of my Ninja food processor before adding to the rest of the ingredients.

Place an even amount of the mixture into 12 muffin tins and bake at 350 for about 25-30 minutes. If you are going to freeze some of them, I'd bake for 25 minutes; then once they're defrosted and reheated, they will be the perfect texture and moisture level.

After removing from the oven, let it sit for 10-15 minutes before serving.
