Burgers are a staple of summertime. Soup usually makes me think Fall and Winter. But when I am eating low carb, soups are such an easy way to get a satisfying and simple meal.

So I broke the rules and ate soup in the 90 degree heat. I have air conditioning and I lived through it (and loved it)!

This low carb bacon cheeseburger soup was made even easier and more flavorful by using leftover cheeseburgers from the night before.

My husband grilled cheeseburgers the night before and we had one of our staple dinners, Cheeseburger Salad. The next day at lunch I was trying to find something quick and tasty. I saw the leftover burgers and it hit me. I could make a low carb bacon cheeseburger soup, use my leftovers, and have a yummy meal. Win.

Low Carb Bacon Cheeseburger Soup

We follow the Trim Healthy Mama plan at our house so this is a THM S Meal because of the cheese, cream and red meat. If you follow another low carb plan, this will fit within that or your Keto lifestyle. (See how I lost 22 lbs postpartum in 3 months with THM)

While looking at recipes, I first saw a cheeseburger soup on i Save A 2 Z. I made some small modifications and added in leftovers to make this soup delicious and budget friendly by using leftovers.

Start by prepping your bacon. Make this even easier by using bacon bits that you already have or cook your bacon in your soup stock pot to make it a one pot meal like I did.

Uncooked Bacon

The Leftovers

Chop your leftover cheeseburgers up into bite size pieces.

You can use cooked ground beef in the soup but the leftover burgers really amp up the flavor of the soup. Plus you get to use up leftovers from your bbq! Don’t let your money get tossed out by not eating your leftovers.

Chopped Leftover Grilled Cheeseburger

Add your butter, seasonings, bone broth, marinara and shredded cheese. I use the Bone beef broth from Walmart as an easy way to increase the nutritional value. Add your cream cheese.

Low carb bacon cheeseburger soup simmering

My cheese grater broke recently so I had to get creative with my pot strainer to get my cheese shredded! It wasn’t easy but it worked. There is a hack for you if yours breaks too! Do what you have to do to get dinner on the table! #momlife

Low Carb Cheeseburger soup with Grated Cheese

Add your chopped burgers and bacon bits. Next, add in your heavy cream and simmer it all together. (Don’t mind my amazing clip on spoon that is taking up 1/2 the picture!)

Cream added to Cheeseburger Soup

Cheeseburger Soup Toppings

Top the soup with your choice of dill pickle slices (sounds weird but so good), more shredded cheese and sliced jalapenos.

Low Carb Cheeseburger Soup - Keto - THM S Meal Using Leftover Burgers

Your leftover low carb bacon cheeseburger soup is rich and decadent. The leftover burgers really give this soup a burger in a bowl taste. I hope you try it to use your leftovers and have a yummy lunch or dinner for the family. Don’t forget to see the can’t miss cheesy salsa chicken recipe that also fits with Keto/low carb/ THM S. And if you are looking for more ways to use your leftovers,  here are 5 ways to use your chicken.

Low Carb Cajun Shrimp Casserole

December 18, 2018 by Stacy Craft 3 Comments

A low carb cajun shrimp casserole that contains the cajun holy trinity and plump shrimp in a rich and creamy sauce over cauliflower rice.

Low Carb Cajun Shrimp Casserole for Keto Diet. Easy recipe for a Trim Healthy Mama S Meal (THM). The traditional rice base is replaced with Cauliflower rice for added vegetables and lower carbs.

Holidays at my Granny’s house were always special. She loved cooking and I remember going to her house at Christmas and eating a gorgeous shrimp casserole and her famous coconut cake that looked beautiful and tasted amazing.

My Granny has been in heaven for many years now and oh how I wish that I could talk to her again. To let her know that as an adult, I share her love for cooking and baking. So when I found her Shrimp Vegetable Casserole in an old church cook book the other day, I just had to make it.

(Affiliate Links are used in this post. A small commission may be paid to me at no extra cost to you and that helps to support this page. Please see my disclosures page for additional information.)

Granny’s Shrimp and Vegetable Casserole

Old church cookbooks are just an absolute dream. I love the classic recipes and simplicity of the books. No pictures. Just simple recipes written out by the ladies of the church. Their names signed with pride under each casserole or icebox pie.

Now, I’m not sure how my beautiful southern grandmother would feel about me changing up this recipe to make it keto and low carb friendly. Cauliflower rice did not exist when she was here on Earth with us and I have a feeling it would not have made her must eat list. However, she did like to tell you about her diet. She called it “reducing” so maybe she would have enjoyed it. I took a risk by creating a low carb cajun shrimp casserole inspired by her recipe and it turned out great.

Don’t get me wrong, I love her version with some delicious white rice to soak up that decadent shrimp sauce. But I can only enjoy that about once a year if I want to fit into my  jeans that I have been working so hard to get in after baby #2.

Low Carb Cajun Shrimp Casserole

After a few changes to Granny’s original recipe, this easy low carb cajun shrimp casserole will meet your keto diet requirements and leave you feeling happy instead of deprived. And it is pretty enough with the red peppers and green celery and bell pepper to serve at your Christmas holiday party.

Start by thawing your shrimp if it is frozen. I bought a bag of medium size precooked, peeled and deveined shrimp from Aldi to make life very easy.

Prep the Holy Trinity

Saute the celery, onion and bell pepper in butter or olive oil. Cook it until your desired tenderness because the oven time is short and it will not soften up much during the baking time.

Cook your cauliflower rice. You can buy the steam bag and do it in the microwave or cook it on the stove top. Whichever method you choose, make sure you drain it well so that your low carb cajun shrimp casserole doesn’t get watery. I also like to toss the cooked “rice” with about a tablespoon of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. It is not necessary but I feel like it helps to make it taste a little less cauliflower-y.

Combine shrimp, sauteed vegetables and roasted red bell peppers and mix well.

Shrimp and the Holy Trinity for Low Carb Cajun Shrimp Casserole

In a second bowl, combine the mayo, heavy whipping cream, worcestershire, pepper and cajun seasoning.

Shrimp and sauce for casserole

Mix 1/2 of the mayo sauce with the cauliflower rice. Spread the rice evenly into an 8×8 or 9×9 greased casserole dish. Pour the shrimp mixture on top of the cauliflower rice. Pour the remaining sauce over the top. Do not mix the layers.

Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

Baked Low Carb Cajun Shrimp Casserole

My Granny topped her casserole with bread crumbs and butter. In my low carb cajun shrimp casserole, I didn’t use bread crumbs because I am following a low carb diet. I actually meant to try it with crushed pork rinds on top but I forgot.

I did top my low carb cajun shrimp casserole with a little grated parm right before serving. Everything is better with a little cheese right?

Low Carb Cajun Shrimp Casserole with Cauliflower Rice - Keto Friendly Recipe

Cooking with Old Recipes

I had such a fun time cooking my Granny’s shrimp casserole. Cooking this old family recipe gave me time to reflect and remember my sweet grandmother.

I have such fond childhood memories of sitting on the counter in her kitchen. She always had cookies or a cake for us to make with her when we visited. This was back when you could eat raw cookie dough or cake batter and not worry about dying of Salmonella (ignorance is bliss right?).

She would tell you to pour in some flour or sugar. “That’ll do” was her response when we had gotten enough of the ingredients into the bowl. To this day, I don’t know how she could eyeball the correct amounts! I can’t cook a thing without a measuring cup.

My Granny was a wife and loving mother of 4 boys, a grandmother to 5 and now has countless great grandchildren to look down on from heaven. She was a retired teacher and a member of Richland Presbyterian. She loved to cook, sew us big, poufy dresses, and work in her yard.

In loving memory of Geraldine F. Tabb

Low Carb Salsa Verde Chicken Enchiladas

November 26, 2018 by Stacy Craft 14 Comments

These low carb salsa verde chicken enchiladas will have you feeling anything but deprived! Rich, cheesy and delicious Mexican food without the carbs!

Low Carb Salsa Verde Chicken Enchiladas

Low Carb Chicken Enchiladas with Salsa Verde Queso

These low carb salsa verde chicken enchiladas are smothered in a 2 ingredient cheesy queso. This recipe was inspired by my most popular Keto recipe on this blog – salsa verde chicken with cauliflower rice. That recipe has been pinned over 100,000 times so I wanted to stuff that recipe into low carb tortilla and call it an enchilada! And since i have already made it into nachos, enchiladas seemed like the right thing to do.

I love Mexican food. I often joke that I could eat it for breakfast. And the couple of times that we have vacationed to Mexico, I have done just that. So when I started my low carb journey, my first worry aside from dessert was my beloved tacos and enchiladas.

It is so nice to be able to eat creamy chicken enchiladas without any guilt. I ate two tonight and just had to share this simple and delicious recipe with you.

Low Carb Salsa Verde Chicken Enchiladas

I have been doing the Trim Healthy Mama diet on and off for the past 9 months. The hardest thing to me about the lifestyle is convenience foods. Lots of people tend to make eating low carb complicated when it doesn’t have to be.

These 5 ingredient low carb salsa verde chicken enchiladas use the grocery store’s best low carb convenience item as it’s star ingredient. A rotisserie chicken. If you eat low carb or are on THM and you need a quick and easy on plan meal, pick up a rotisserie chicken!

Low Carb Mission Tortillas, Shredded Chicken, Block of Cream Cheese, Salsa Verde

^I forgot to put the cream cheese in the picture. That is what cooking with a 4 year old and an 13 month old will do to you.

With just a few minutes of prep work and then 20 minutes in the oven, you will have a delicious plate of comfort food that I promise you would eat if you were not on a “diet.”

Prepare the Queso

The biggest key to a smooth queso is letting your cream cheese soften before heating it. You can tell from looking at my pictures that I was impatient tonight and did not let the cream cheese soften enough.

Green Salsa verde Queso - Low Carb - Keto - Trim Healthy Mama THM S

If you don’t let it soften up long enough, you may have trouble getting it to melt completely. Don’t worry if this happens, it might not be as pretty but it still tastes great!

After your cream cheese is soft, add it to a small saucepan over medium/low to medium heat with the salsa verde. Allow the cream cheese to melt, stirring occasionally. It usually takes about 10 minutes.

Assemble the Green Salsa Enchiladas

When I make these low carb salsa verde chicken enchiladas, I do not measure the filling. I just toss it in and roll it up. However, I will try and give approximate amounts if you prefer to see a measurement.

Low Carb chicken enchilada filling

Add about 2 tablespoons of shredded chicken, a tablespoon of shredded cheese and a drizzle of the cream cheese and green salsa queso to each low carb tortilla. Roll up and place in your prepared casserole dish seam side down.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes, uncovered. Top the enchiladas with sour cream and cilantro when served. We also ate these with a simple avocado side salad.

My husband is not usually thrilled about leftovers but he asked the next day if we had any more enchiladas! I hope you try these low carb salsa verde chicken enchiladas. They were a great change up for us from all the Turkey and dressing that we at last week during Thanksgiving.

No Bake Dulce De Leche Caramel Pie

November 13, 2018 by Stacy Craft Leave a Comment

No Bake Dulce De Leche Caramel Pie will be the star of your dinner party or Thanksgiving dessert table. Only 3 ingredients and less than 5 minutes of prep make this recipe easy as pie.

3 Ingredient Mini Caramel Pies are great for Thanksgiving! This easy dessert makes a delicious dulce de leche pie in just 5 minutes of prep work.

No bake dulce de leche caramel pie was developed from my love of the O’Charley’s caramel pie. Anywhere that gives away free pie every Wednesday deserves a special place in your heart. But sometimes you just need to be able to make your favorite restaurant pie at home. And that is where this recipe will change your life. Ok, maybe that is a little dramatic but i think you will really like it!

You may have seen the recipes where you boil the cans of condensed milk for 3 hours until they turn into caramel. You can’t let your water run below the can or it can and will blow up. And your kitchen will be covered in caramel. Your easy pie will be ruined in a flash.

Before I had kids, I made a caramel pie using this method. It is good. It tastes pretty dang close to the O’Charley’s caramel pie. But I knew that I could not do that boiling method with a very busy 12 month old and a chatty 4 year old running through my house. My kitchen surely be covered in caramel that had blown up while I was changing a diaper or fixing a cup of milk.

So I was on the hunt for something easier that would still give me a decadent caramel pie.

No Bake Dulce De Leche Caramel Pie

A caramel pie was on my Thanksgiving meal plan. I knew that if I could get brave enough to boil the condensed milk with 2 kids running around, it would be an easy, make ahead dessert to add to my dessert spread.

I was standing in the grocery store, staring at the condensed milk and picturing all the things that could go wrong with this boiling milk project when I had a revelation. Staring me in the face was a little can of dulce de leche. Do you know what that means?

Some nice little company boiled your condensed milk for you, stuffed it in a can and it can all be yours for a couple of bucks. Genius! Here is what you need in order to make this 3 ingredient no bake dulce de leche caramel pie .

What You Need:

1 Can Dulce De Leche

1 Graham Cracker Crust (I used a pack of the mini crusts)

8 oz container Cool whip

(Optional Toppings: Mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts)

Preparing the No Bake Dulce De Leche Caramel Pie

Open your can of dulce de leche. Spread it into the pie crust.

Refrigerate for a few hours to chill. Top with cool whip and serve.

It is so easy your kids can do it. It literally takes less than 5 minutes of prep to make the pie. The longest part is just chilling it which isn’t even totally necessary but I do like it better chilled.

How Much Does It Cost?

Depending on sales at your local grocery store, you should be able to make this pie for less than $6. Making this no bake dulce de leche caramel pie simple and affordable!

Is your family a fan of caramel pie? Do you love no bake, quick and easy dessert recipes?

Thanksgiving Turkey Breakfast Bagel

November 8, 2018 by Stacy Craft 15 Comments

A light and healthy breakfast is just what your kids need leading up to Thanksgiving day. This Thanksgiving turkey breakfast bagel is a cute and tasty treat.

Thanksgiving Breakfast Bagel For Kids. Fun breakfast food ideas for kids to make holidays exciting!  Cute Turkey shaped breakfast food idea for young kids.

I have one kiddo that doesn’t like to eat. Like ever. My most popular phrase at home is “eat your food.” But if you make her food cute, she all of the sudden shows more interest. These Thanksgiving turkey breakfast bagel treats had her smiling at the breakfast table this week.

Thanksgiving Turkey Breakfast Bagel for Kids

Holiday inspired treats are one thing that I always planned in my head for my kids, before I had kids. I wanted to do fun food and paper plate painting crafts. Handprint keepsakes and cutout cookies with homemade icing and lots of sprinkles.

One thing that I didn’t anticipate pre-motherhood is just how busy and tired I would be in actual motherhood. So in reality my holiday treats usually consist of things that I typically have at home and that I can make super quick.

A Thanksgiving turkey breakfast bagel puts a healthy and fun treat on your table for the kids. You will be giving your kids a fruit, carb source, and dairy in this meal. It is light enough to eat on Thanksgiving morning during the parades on TV but will also keep them full until lunch at school if you make it earlier in the month.

What Do I Need:

Mini Bagels

Cream Cheese (I used a Honey Flavored)

Candy Eyeballs (If you don’t have these, try chocolate chips or raisins)

Candy Corn

Red & Green Apple

Assembling the Thanksgiving Turkey Breakfast Bagel

Fun food, fast. That is what we are after here! To make this cute Thanksgiving turkey breakfast bagel, start by slicing and toasting the bagel.

Let it cool slightly so that the cream cheese doesn’t slide off the turkey’s body. Once it has cooled a bit, spread the cream cheese on one of the bagels. I spread it on just thick enough to cover up the whole in the middle.

Slice the apples.

Now all you need to do is arrange. Place the apple slices around the edge of your turkey peel side up to show those pretty red and green colors off. Finally, add the eyeball, candy corn nose and trim just a teensy piece of a red apple to make the gobbler. Did you know the “gobbler” is actually called a snood? Weird but true according to this article with 10 things you didn’t (need to) know about turkeys.

Thanksgiving Breakfast bagel idea for kids

My daughter’s only complaint was that the Thanksgiving turkey breakfast bagel needed two eyes and not one. I was going for a profile look. And if I know her like I think I do, she was going for two candy eyeballs. I hope you have fun serving these turkey’s up to your kids.
