Chili and Cheese Omelet

I love this recipe. It's simple yet full of flavor. Breakfast is hard to find something low carb so most of mine are filled with eggs. A large egg is only 0.38 carbs and only has 74 calories. I dressed this recipe up with chili, cheese, onions, and sour cream.  I hope you enjoy it.

Chili and Cheese Omelet

• 3 large eggs
• 4 tablespoons cheese (any kind you like)
• 1/2 cup Wolf brand Chili No Beans
• 2 Tablespoons sour cream (if you like)
• 2 Tablespoons onion (if you wish)
• salt and pepper (to taste)

Spray small nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Heat over medium-high heat. Beat 3 eggs in bowl.  Place the onion in skillet; cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes or until tender. Add beaten eggs and cook 1 minute or until edges start to set. Gently lift edges while tilting pan to allow uncooked egg to run beneath. Repeat; cook 2 to 3 minutes more or until set. Place on plate; sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the cheese and 1/4 cup of the warm chili. Fold over and top with another 1/4 cup of the warm chili and 2 more tablespoons of the cheese. Top with sour cream, if desired. Serve immediately.

Mushroom Chicken and Sausage Casserole

This recipe is a favorite now. I substituted cauliflower for those 'nasty' high carb potatoes.  No one in my family could tell the cauliflower was there, yeah me! Using the cauliflower instead of potatoes cuts the carbs way down. By cutting this into 8 pieces gives each piece only 6 carbs per serving.


Mushroom Chicken and Sausage Casserole

• 3-4 cups diced cooked chicken
• 1 pound pork sausage
• 1 stalk celery, chopped fine
• 1 tablespoon onion, chopped
• 1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 16 ounce bag frozen cauliflower, cooked well and drained
• 8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
• Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• Paprika, optional

Brown the sausage with the celery, onion and mushrooms. Stir the softened cream cheese into the sausage mixture until well blended. Coarsely chop the cooked cauliflower. Mix all of the ingredients and spread in a greased 9x13" baking dish. If desired, dust the top with paprika. Bake at 350 for about 40 minutes until the top is nicely browned. Can be frozen
