I got asked for an Induction-friendly recipe video, and my mind immediately went to the Poblano peppers I had in my fridge. Peppers are an awesome part of any Atkins Diet menu, and are loaded with vitamins and nutrients. Ingredients: 4 Large Poblano Peppers, Broiled, skin removed 1.5 pounds Ground Beef (85%/15%) 1 TBS Taco Seasoning (see recipe below) 1/2 cup Heavy Cream 1/2 cup Salsa 1 1/4 cup Shredded Cheese 1/4 cup diced tomatoes (optional) 1. Brown Ground Beef, Drain, and add Taco Seasoning 2. Roast Peppers on Top Shelf under broiler, rotating every 2-3 minutes 3. Add Salsa, Cream, and Cheese to ground beef, and heat until cheese is melted. 4. Remove Peppers from Oven, and peel loosened skin off peppers. Remove Stem core and seeds from inside. 5. Add meat mixture to roasted peppers, and cover with 1-2 oz of Shredded Cheese 6. Bake for 20 minutes or until cheese is golden brown. Makes 4 servings.

I am looking for some low carb recipes for hearty meals. I do low carb but my boyfriend doesn’t. It’s hard to make meals that both he can enjoy and I can eat. I’m looking for hearty recipes that won’t make him feel like he’s missing out on something.

I have recipes books and have pulled the websites, but am looking for some actual recipes that you have tried and made yourself that worked out well. Thanks!
