Bacon cheeseburger Brussels sprouts

There may be some other version out there, but this dish is on I actually invented myself. Super easy.

• 12 oz bag of brussel sprouts chopped (I cut lengthwise and then width wise twice to make 6 pieces for each sprout) 
• 1 lb ground beef (I'm saying 1 lb for ease here but mine was actually like 1 1/3 lb)
• Cheese- I used a 6 oz bag of Kraft's smoky bacon cheddar
• 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled/chopped
• 1/2 C garlic flavored chopped tomatoes with juice
• Olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Super easy. Chop brussel sprouts, saute in large pan in olive oil with salt and pepper until tender and browned on edges.

Remove, brown ground beef. Add cooked bacon, tomatoes, and cooked brussel sprouts.  Stir for a few minutes then add cheese. I did the entire bag, just pour it on top and let it melt for a minute. 

That's it. Done.  Last time I had some sugar free BBQ sauce on hand and added some of that and it was fantastic, I didn't have any this time.

Makes 4 servings. I actually ate less than a serving because it was so filling! These are the macros I calculated per serving but always double check your own math. I calculated this with 3 tablespoons of olive oil being used, adjust as needed.

The rest of my meal plan yesterday was really uninspired. Macadamia nuts to munch on in the afternoon.... and coconut oil coffee in the morning, a glass of wine before bed. Not at all hungry. Pretty sure this confirms fat adaptation, I will make an effort to get more calories at dinner tonight, because I closed the day with around 1000.

The scale is down today 1.5 lbs.
