Tomato Steak Stew

Z2-Soup,Z2-Entrees,Z2-Beef

Made this tonight and was very happy with it – it would count as your vegetable and your meat although you could definitely add a green salad. I found it to be very filling.

Chili #4

Z2-Soup,ZSpecialties,Z2-Entrees,Z2-Beef,ZS-Zola to Go

I have designed several chili recipes for Plan Z. This is one of those that is very straightforward and simple. It doesn’t even have a lot of ingredients.

Beef and Vegetable Soup

Z2-Soup,Z2-Entrees,Z2-Beef

Tastes very much like the traditional version but this one doesn’t include higher carbohydrate vegetables like carrots and potatoes. Still quite delightful, though. Brings back memories of grandma.

Creole Meatloaf

Z2-Beef,ZS-Dieter Favorites,Z2-Entrees,ZSpecialties

This is a wonderfully moist meatloaf. It has a kick from the Cajun spices but not all that much and you can adjust according to taste. This transports well to work.

Burger and Egg

Z2-Beef,Z2-Entrees

It’s all the rage in the big city. Have a runny egg on top of your burger. Well, you can do that in ZReduction too! I just ate mine and I’m stuffed!

Frito Meatloaf

Z2-Entrees,ZS-Dieter Favorites,Z2-Beef,ZSpecialties

This meatloaf makes six servings. When you serve it, remember that your crunch item is already included, so no breadstick or crackers with this meal.

French Crock Pot Rib Roast

Feels just like you are eating in the French countryside.

Cabbage Rolls

We were really happy with the way it turned out and I think you could adjust the seasonings to your own taste if you want more garlic or more salt, etc.

Lockdown Chili (Z2 Version)

What better time to have a spicy chili than when I am in lockdown, practicing social distancing.

This is a great comfort food. Make a big pot and pack it up for lunches on future days for a nice hot meal on a cold day.

Sloppy Joes

Z2-Beef

You could call this the “adult version” of Sloppy Joes.  It does have some ZIP to it. Don’t be intimidated by the length of the ingredients list. The recipe is worth it. And you probably have most of these ingredients in your pantry.

Cooked Cabbage Salad

ZS-Zola to Go,Z2-Beef,Z2-Salads,ZSpecialties,Z2-Entrees

This recipe is compliments of Dieter Rose. Rose loves cooked cabbage and this does the trick for her. You can take this to work cold and reheat in the microwave too.

Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls

Z2-Beef,Z2-Entrees

Dieter Jessica made this meal on one of her first days of ZReduction. It was so delicious she wanted to share it with everyone.

Chili Con Carne

Z2-Entrees,ZSpecialties,Z2-Beef,ZS-Dieter Favorites,Z2-Soup,ZS-Zola to Go

This is a meaty chili with some veggies tossed in for crunch factor. Makes a satisfying lunch.

Famous Burger Meatloaf

ZS-Dieter Favorites,Z2-Entrees,ZSpecialties,Z2-Beef

This is a “Whopper” of a meatloaf, designed to taste like the famous burger. I hope you enjoy.

Italian Pepper Steak in a Crock Pot
