CRACK SLAW

Ingredients:
1 lb. Ground Beef, browned with salt and pepper and drained
2 T Toasted Sesame Oil
2 Garlic Cloves, minced
3 Green Onions, sliced
14 oz. Coleslaw Mix*
2 T Soy Sauce
1 tsp White Vinegar
1/2 tsp Sriracha Sauce (or more to taste)
1/2 tsp Ground Ginger
1/2 tsp Splenda

Directions:
Heat sesame oil in pan and saute garlic, onions and slaw until cabbage cooked to desired tenderness (I like mine a little crunchy). Stir in soy sauce, vinegar, Sriracha sauce, ginger and Splenda and mix well. Add ground beef to cabbage mixture. Mix well and serve. Serve with additional Sriracha if desired.

*I also add additional chopped carrots, chopped peppers (green or red) and chopped zucchini for extra crunch.

Recipe Notes:
This is a popular low-carb recipe on different low-carb sites which I have tweaked to my own taste. The name "crack" slaw comes from it being so addictive!
