Is the meat frozen or thawed/raw when you add it to the crockpot?
I would say thawed, although I have used frozen before. If you can break it up throughout the day that would be good… and make sure you cook for at least 6 hours maybe longer!
Do you brown the ground beef/Turkey first?
You can if you are in a hurry… otherwise I would break it up real good… maybe stir throughout the day and cook at least 6 hours.
Is this an E or an S meal? I’m new to THM and have not quite figured out how to tell yet 🙂
If using ground beef it is an S unless you use really lean (95%) and pour off and rinse the fat. Otherwise you can use ground turkey (breast meat) and it can be an E. 🙂
Hi ~ just wondering what kind of tortilla you use (in that last picture)? Loving your menu plans 🙂
I use Mission Low Carb Whole Wheat with 3 carbs per tortilla! 🙂
