Delicious Low Carb Leftover Pot Roast Casserole

Submitted by Dee Licious

"A tasty low carb way to make your leftover roast into a whole different meal!"

 

• Ready In: 40mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 2 cups left over pot roast (or Roast Beef)
• 1⁄2 cup leftover dripping, from roast
• 1⁄4 cup milk
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
• 1 (14 ounce) bag frozen broccoli (can be defrosted, but not necessary)
• 1 cup French's cheddar french fried onions

directions

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Chop Roast into cubes or shred into bite size pieces.
3. In a sprayed or buttered casserole dish mix the Roast, left over sauce from Roast, Cream of Mushroom Soup, Shredded Cheddar Cheese, frozen broccoli and Milk.
4. If you thaw the broccoli before you add it you likely will not need to cook for 45 minutes, but if you're feeling lazy (like me) then you don't have to thaw it - just make sure you keep the casserole in the oven long enough to get warm!
5. Top the mixture with the French Fried Onions.
6. Bake in 350 degree oven for 30-45 minutes.
7. Stir before serving.

With the ingredients, there is no way this is Low carb and shouldn't be classified as such! Would be very misleading to someone who is just starting out eating low carb!

I left the potatoes and carrots from the post roast in it. Just cut them smaller. it was delicious! Glad to have something to do with left over pot roast!

I made this for dinner tonight & it was very yummy! I used fresh spinach instead of frozen broccoli & I also added plain greek yogurt to make the dish a little more creamy. I served the dish over whole wheat penne pasta w/ a sprinkle of grated parm cheese on top. The casserole was very soupy but delicious, so the noodles held it together.

Not aesthetically pleasing but a very yummy use of leftovers indeed! I had originally made the Crock Pot Cajun Pot Roast #78122 which yielded a very pleasing taste. I did alter this recipe based on pantry ingredients: substitutions were Pepper jack & Parmesan instead of cheddar, cream of celery in place of cream of mushroom, no broccoli, and no french fried onions. I added about 1/4 cup of light sour cream to the mixture, and I also sprinkled the top with some crushed plain potato chips (which added an interesting texture and flavor). and served this over basmati rice. Will absolutely make again! Thanks for sharing.
