BBQ Beef Cups

These are a variation of the sausage muffins I make using my "corn" dog batter. 

Brown 1 1/2 lbs of ground beef and season with your favorite low carb BBQ spices.  Cook until just cooked through because it will bake in the oven also.

While the beef is browning, I make a double batch of my "corn" dog recipe. This will make about 30 BBQ cups.

When the ground beef is done, turn off the heat and add your favorite low carb BBQ sauce. I use a mix of Walden Farms and G. Hughes.

Line muffin tins with paper liners (parchment is my favorite) and fill each about 1/3 of the way with batter.  Then top with the BBQ ground beef.  Push the meat down into the cup.

Bake in a 400° preheated oven for about 22 minutes.  Let cool a bit (the liner will come off better).  I drizzle a little more G. Hughes BBQ sauce on top. Store leftovers in the fridge.

Protein-led Lunch

Took my kiddos out for lunch today to a restaurant we trust.  They know us pretty well, but I still clarify our dietary needs when I order.
🧒🏼 T1 son had a 3 egg omelet loaded with bacon, sausage and ham. NO onions. (Logging and careful testing helped us determine onions are like glucose to him, so we avoid.) His diet soda is always tested to make sure the waitress didn't make a mistake.
👧🏼 Non-D daughter had a cheeseburger, no bun, veggies on the side, and a salad.

Happy kiddos and great blood sugar.
