Italian Pepper Steak in a Crock Pot

This is a great crock pot recipe. Super simple but really tasty.

Frito Meatloaf

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

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.

Cooked Cabbage Salad

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.

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.

Beef and Vegetable Soup

Z2-Entrees,Z2-Beef,Z2-Soup

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.

Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls

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

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

French Crock Pot Rib Roast

Feels just like you are eating in the French countryside.

Chili #4

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 & Vegetable Stew

Z2-Entrees,Z2-Beef,Z2-Soup

This stew will contain your meat and vegetable portion, serve with salad greens for a complete meal.

Creole Meatloaf

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

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.

Lockdown Chili (Z2 Version)

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

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

Chili

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.

Tomato Steak Stew

Z2-Entrees,Z2-Beef,Z2-Soup

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.

Famous Burger Meatloaf

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

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

Cabbage Rolls

Z2-Entrees,Z2-Beef

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.
