Low-Carb Cheeseburger Casserole

Ingredients:

1 lb. ground beef

1 packet onion soup mix

1 bag shredded colby jack (or your cheese of choice)

1 tbsp. minced garlic

Topping:

½ cup mayonnaise

½ cup heavy cream (I used half & half)

2 eggs

Preheat oven to 350.  Brown burger and drain excess fat. 

While you're waiting for the meat to brown mix together all topping ingredients. Stir well.

After meat is cooked, thoroughly mix in onion soup mix. Mix in ¾ bag of shredded cheese. Place in greased casserole dish

Cover top of casserole with topping mixture. Add remaining cheese evenly on top of mixture. Bake for 40 minutes. 

This casserole was amazing! I'm not sure how, but it tasted like tater tot casserole, minus the carbs. Super easy to make and hit the spot on a cold rainy night in Iowa. 

Pork roast in the crockpot

Ingredients:

3 lb pork roast

3 cups water

1 packet onion soup mix

2 tbsp minced garlic

Set roast in crockpot.  Pour in water.  Top roast with minced garlic and onion soup mix packet.  I threw in some green onions just for fun.  Cook in crockpot on low for 10 hours or until meat reaches 170 degrees. 

This was one of the best roasts I have made in a long time.  It was extremely tender and fell apart when I went to remove it.  The flavor of the garlic and onion soup was a great mix.
