1 hamburger patty
1 tsp. sour cream
1 tbsp. salsa
1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
Cook hamburger patty and done clear through. Remove from pan and place on a microwave safe plate. Top with salsa,
cheese, and sour cream. Cook in microwave for 20-30 seconds.
I added 1 carb for the cheese, 1 carb for the sour cream, and 1 carb for the salsa.. for a total of 3 carbs. It might actually
be a little less than that.

this:

and 1-1/2 lbs. Ground pork. Mix these ingredients together, fry until brown, break up with a fork, and use as the recipe
