Quick low carb meal ideas?

One of my favorites is a play on a lentil casserole I already loved and made a lot, I just omit the brown rice and added extra vegetables.

I use:

a 11 x 7 baking dish (use whatever you have and cut down/up ingredients approriately)

3 cups-ish of soups stock, usually chicken
1.5 cups of lentils
1/2 cup diced onion
1/2 cup diced other-vegetables (I usually use some bell peppers, carrots and celery)
teaspoon of garlic
various spices/herbs
1 cup or more of grated cheese

Now, preheat the oven to 300 F, mix all the ingredients except the cheese into the baking dish, cover with foil and bake for about an hour. Then take it out, remove the foil, sprinkle the top generously with grated cheese and bake uncovered for another 15-20 minutes.

Makes a great amount of food that's nutritious, filling and low-carb. Keeps great in the fridge, I bring it to work for my lunches for the week when I make it.

That is very similar to what I make. Lentils are so healthy. I usually add mild, green chilies and I put garlic in everything and more onion. lol. Sometimes I put in a ham shank (not particularly healthy) lol... if I'm doing it in a crock pot. I also make something called lentil loaf. LOL. It's like a meat loaf but with lentils and cheese on top. Then there's something called southwest lentils. I forget what's so different about that. And of course lentil soup. It's all pretty much the same stuff.

Lentils are awesome, you can toss them into so many different dishes!

I don't like lentil soup AT ALL, but that lentil casserole sounds really good!
