3 pounds of ground beef, I buy in bulk at Costco and freeze into 1.5 pound packs
Added Italian seasoning to my meat
Added fresh crimini mushrooms, 10 oz pack from Trader Joe's, net carbs 6
Omited the parm cheese as I do not care for the flavor
The spagetti sauce that I use is 5 carbs for 1/2 cup, 1 fiber, net 4 carbs, this is from Trader Joe's also, it is Trader Giotto's Three Cheese Pomodeoro Pasta Sauce, it is really good.
Curious how many carbs are in the spagetti sauce that was used in this orig recipe.
Will let you all know what I think.

I'm not sure how many carbs are in the spaghetti sauce Linda used in her original recipe..But I would presume she would be using a sauce with a lower carb count. It's pretty hard to find many that are less that 4 or 5 per serving so I'm thinking it's probably around there somewhere. But then that's totally a guess. Even if it's higher than that 1/2 cup of sauce isn't much at all..and then divide that by like 4 servings..you aren't talking too many carbs.
Hope you and your family enjoyed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
p.s. Found some of the really expensive jars of spaghetti sauce had some of the lowest carb counts but for ME I can't spend $6 or $8 for a jar of sauce (or something ridiculous like that) so I just suck up the 2 or 3 extra carbs per serving. Esp when spaghetti sauce is not normally something I have on a weekly or even monthly basis.
