"This was great! I cooked it in a pie plate. I sprinkled parmesan cheese under the meat to keep it together. I also cooked onion and garlic with the meat. Even my picky eater loved it!"

"I've made this now two different times and love it! It is so addictive. I added liquid smoke to the sauce and some garlic and onion powder so that it has a stronger barbecue flavor.”
-maryann denobrega
"This is so simple to make and tastes great. I added garlic but followed the rest as written. Very enjoyable meal.”

“This is definitely in the ‘keep’ stack of our low-carb choices! My husband has been recently diagnosed diabetic and we are trying many new low-carb recipes. This is one that he really enjoyed.”
-NoNamesLeft
“This is a good recipe. I would have liked to have a solid measurement for spaghetti squash, as ‘large’ can really be relative. I cooked a few squashes just to be sure to have enough to mix in. I added mushrooms in place of celery.”

“This has become a new family favorite! After the first time following the recipe, I changed from hamburger to ground turkey, and the meat didn't overpower the yummy Asian flavors.”
-Jhawkm84
"The spices are spot on! Don't change them until you've at least tried them as listed in the ingredients. I used garlic powder instead of fresh garlic. I also added a can of Rotel tomatoes for more flavor and bulk.”
-Mr. Sandman
“I’d give it ten stars if I could. Anyone who is on a low-carb diet and misses pizza should try this.”
-Grandma Winnie
“Yummy! We loved it. I didn't make the sauce as we already had some. I barbecued our kebabs, and they were delicious! I think i'll turn these into hamburger patties next time & make burgers out of them — delicious!"
-um-um-good
"My wife is doing a low-carb diet, and she loves this. The only difference is I used chicken broth instead of tomato sauce. She said it tasted like a fancy restaurant dish.”
-Will W.
"Absolutely delicious! I am in the transition from vegetarian to a ketogenic diet, and this was a great way to start off. Great flavor, and the meat wasn't dry at all.”
-kangaroofish
"I really enjoyed these as a no-carb breakfast. Today, I am adding spinach and garlic powder."
-elaina.thiemann
"It was easy to make, had a great flavor and my kids even liked it. I suggest more sauce than recipe calls for, because you will want to have it to spoon over the burgers when served."
-Caprice Castano
“Bitter gourd is a natural blood purifier and has numerous benefits. Try out this wonderful recipe of stuffed bitter gourd. Incredibly easy, simple and tasteful.”
-Hina Ali
"This recipe was a hit with the family! Since a couple of the reviews mentioned that it might need a little more flavor, I adjusted the recipe as follows: one teaspoon Tajín (Mexican seasoning), one 14-ounce can diced tomatoes with jalapeño peppers (I drained the liquid from the tomatoes into a measuring cup and then added water to the half-cup mark).”
-OddSpirit
"This has become a staple at our house. I changed the ground beef to hot Italian turkey sausage. I buy the links and cut off the casings. The dish has more spice with just the addition of the sausage."

This simple, keto-friendly “pasta” dish is simply-yet-boldly seasoned with cumin and chili powder.
"My husband had prepared this recipe for dinner and mentioned he only cooked it for an hour (instead of three hours) since he had not read the instructions, and it was delicious. Simmering for three hours will be fabulous the next time!”

These Nigerian-inspired kofte are easy to whip up. You can grill them over charcoal, pan fry them or bake in a hot oven.
-gailanng
“This recipe has been influenced by a popular dish from Turkey called lahmacun and a popular Indian dish called keema. The combination of flavours within the mince give a warm, delicately spiced taste.”
-Fit Cookin
“I’ve made this recipe several times, and it's delicious. I change it up a little with the spices and add more lamb and no pork.”
-Mary Beth N.
"My favorite recipe on this site! I changed it a little — no onions, and after the ground beef is cooked, I add everything to the slow cooker and let it cook for a couple of hours.”
-KARA H.
“This is awesome, especially if you are ‘low-carbing.’ My entire family loves this and requests it every week. Even our youngest children (eight and nine) love this recipe.”
-denisemichele
"This was ‘wunderbar!’ You can add just about any spice to this to jazz it up. Try peppers and garlic or curry powder. I’ve already created five different dinners from this one recipe.”
-Chef Kaydia Ji
“Lovely! The entire family fully enjoyed this recipe. I followed the advice of others and left the baking soda the same amount and doubled the amount of all the spices. Excellent!”
