My awesome no guilt lettuce wraps

- Live Gourmet Butter Lettuce (see my other post about this)
- A high-end ground beef, preferably cruelty free as available at
Nieman Ranch*
- Low-sodium bacon
- Crumbled Bleu cheese or gorgonzola
- Ketchup

Cook the bacon and set it aside. Drain most of the bacon fat from the
pan, leaving just a tiny bit in the pan. Form the meat into little
oblong meatballs, which should be about the size of your thumb after
cooking. You can add stuff to the meat like green onion and seasoning
to taste if you want. Fry the lil meatballs in the pan you cooked the
bacon in. Drain the meet on a paper towel. Peel off a lettuce leaf and
break off the stem. Put a dollop of ketchup on the leaf. Fill it with
meat, cheese, and bacon. I really like it with ketchup, but I suppose
you could use mustard if you prefer.

Enjoy!

Hmmm, ketchup is loaded with sugar you know?

Not the low carb kind. Still not great (1 gram/tablespoon), but not bad.

I had no idea! So I guess the mustard substition would be the best bet
if you like mustard (I don't care for it myself). I'm new to
low-carbing, and still need to read the book, which is sitting on the
shelf waiting for me. So I've just been restricting carbs as much as
possible; not eating pasta (easy to resist for me), cutting down on
bread (a little harder to resist), etc. I have a terrible sweet tooth,
though, and cutting back on sugar has been the most challenging thing
yet.

Thanks for a good idea!

I'd want something bland in there, to substitute for the bland taste of
bread. Maybe some diced tofu, or boiled egg whites. Or maybe a spread on
the leaf like cream cheese or a tofu spread.

There's a similar Thai dish with no cooking: 'mieung kam', try various
spellings. It's various salad type ingredients -- inclluding dried shrimp
-- wrapped in a spinich or lettuce leaf.
