Low Carb Delicious Cheesy Snack

Well, I've been giving the Atkins Diet a try and so far, so good. I enjoy this "snack" and thought it worth sharing.

Grab a non-stick toaster oven tray or small casserole dish. Add 1 can (14-16oz) of drained diced tomatoes. Spread them out on the tray. Sprinkle on some garlic salt and a teaspoon or so of dried Basil leaves or you can use fresh ones. On top of this add about 6-8 ounces of shredded mozzarella cheese and sprinkle on some more dried Basil.

Cook in a toaster oven on 400 degrees for about 12 minutes or place in a preheated regular oven on the second rack from the top for a minute or two longer. This should satisfy your cheese craving and it will cost you about $2.70.

Sloppy Joe Bake

Kids will love this. I say that a lot, but I try to post recipes that are relatively inexpensive yet tasty. I also like meals that are quick to fix and not too complicated, although those will appear on this blog from time to time.

You need:

A large frying pan. 

2 1/2-3 pounds of ground beef.

8-12 ounces shredded cheese.

Two cans of sloppy Joe sauce, or your home made sauce.

Two boxes of Jiffy Mix corn  muffin mix. (8.5 ounce)

A 9 x 13 casserole dish.

Cook the ground beef until browned. Add the sloppy Joe sauce and heat until hot. Pour the sloppy Joe beef and sauce into the casserole dish:

Add the shredded cheese:

Prepare the two boxes of muffin mix according to the box directions and then spread over top of the cheese.  Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven on the center rack for 15-20 minutes.

Remove from oven, plate it up, top it with some sour cream perhaps..................and eat up!

Total cost is around $13.00 and feeds 4, so, about $3.25 a serving. YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
