  • Total Time: 60 min

Ingredients

Scale

¼ cup butter

3 cups heavy whipping cream

4 cloves garlic, crushed

2 x (5 ounces) freshly shredded parmesan cheese

10 ounces of chopped frozen spinach ( 1 box), drained and thawed

8.5 ounces of sun-dried tomatoes julienne cut (1 jar)

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts grilled

¼ cup chopped parsley

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 egg yolk

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon pepper

12 ounces Barilla fettuccine pasta


Instructions

Grilled Chicken:

For this recipe the chicken breasts are grilled 5-7 minutes per side, or until juices run clear. Make sure to pound the breasts before grilling. The internal temperature should reach 165°F, then you can remove it from the grill. After the chicken breasts have cooled enough to touch you can chop it into pieces using a knife on a cutting board.  

Make The Alfredo Sauce:

On a cutting board chop the garlic cloves finely.

In a medium sauce pan melt the butter over medium heat. Add the heavy whipping cream into the pan and simmer for 5 minutes. Then add the garlic, salt, pepper, and freshly shredded parmesan cheese. Whisk it quickly until it is all melted and well combined. Add the egg yolk and lemon juice and stir. Sauce will be thickened. If the mixture is too thick you can add more cream.

Turn the heat on low and add the spinach. Drain the oil out of the sun-dried tomatoes and blot it with a paper towel. Then add the sun-dried tomatoes to the sauce and stir.

Cook The Fettuccine Noodles:

Cook the pasta noodles according to the package instructions and drain.

Combine All The Ingredients:

After the chicken is done grilling and pasta is cooked you can stir them both in and gently toss to combine.

Serve right away and garnish with parsley and more fresh parmesan if desired.

Low Carb Bacon Wrapped Cheese Stuffed Meatloaf

  • Author: Cherie | Taste & Review
  • Prep Time: 15
  • Cook Time: 70
  • Total Time: 85

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Jimmy Dean hot spicy pork sausage
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 medium size onion, chopped
  • 2 teaspoon garlic, chopped
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons parsley
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
  • 8 oz tomato sauce
  • 1 cup pork rinds, crumbs
  • 1 pound bacon
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese curds

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
  2. Place parchment paper in a 10-inch loaf pan.
  3. In a large mixing bowl combine all the ingredients, except the bacon and cheese curds.
  4. Line the bottom of the loaf pan with half the bacon slices. Each slice should over lap each other and overhang on the sides. Press half of the meatloaf mixture into the pan. Make a groove with your hands in the middle of the loaf. Then add a row of cheese curds pressing down into the meat. Then put the rest of the meatloaf mixture on top of the cheese curd layer. Fold over the bacon that is overhanging.
  5. Using the parchment paper that was lined in the pan flip the meat loaf onto another sheet of parchment paper to finish wrapping the meatloaf. Take the rest of the bacon slices to wrap the other side and sides. The meatloaf at this point should have bacon on all sides. Tuck the bacon pieces in so it is nice and neat and then return the meatloaf back into a lined parchment paper loaf pan.
  6. Bake the meatloaf at 350ºF for one hour and 10 min or until the internal temperature reaches 165 ºF. It will be full of grease when done. Take out the meatloaf onto another platter and let it cool 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
