smokie/veg/cheese
 

Tonight I had left overs and decided to try something new.My kids love smokies.................all beef...........no carbs.

I took the smokies and cut them up in small chunks to fry them.I have broccoli and collyflower left over so I cut small chunks and fried them too.When everything was cooked i topped it all off with shreaded cheese and made it into a big cheese pancake.

It was delish and only done with leftovers.Nice snack.

any other ideas for left-overs?

I also made this with chicken and it was good.Thinking of trying shrimp too.!

What are smokies? I've never heard of them...in UK

I've never heard of them either. No carbs & fast sounds good! Is there a brand name?

Yes - to me "Smokies" = "Arbroath Smokies" which are smoked Haddock!



However Google shows the word is also used for some small sausages - like the cocktail sausages we get over here I think.

So, small beef sausages?

Those look good! I may have to move to the UK.



Pity the OP doesn't seem to be around anymore - I just noticed this is an old thread. But the cocktail sausages I've found on-line do have carbs - anywhere from 2-4 carbs/5 links, depending on the brand.

If anyone finds some all beef smokies that have no carbs - or fewer than 2 - please share the info!

I've never seen beef cocktail sausages, only pork. As you say, they are mostly carby! Anyone in the states able to enlighten us more?

I usually make my own sausages, though some of the german-style ones are quite low in carbs and made with only meat and spices

I found a sealed sausage making kit in my local charity shop :thup: but you can buy the casings and "stuffer" gadget online - even special funnel type tools to stuff the casings by hand

I think Hillshire Farms make little smokies? I find them in the deli meat section at the grocery store.

I've never seen anyone spell 'cauliflower' like collyflower, hahah, but that is cute!! And it works...

I could eat some lil' smokies right now, baked in bacon, mmmm! Meat, meat, meat, meat!!

Love Little Smokies but they are loaded with fillers.
