SMOKED SAUSAGE AND HOMINY

One of my families favorite meals. This is a low carbed version of sausage and beans in a BBQ sauce.  I've used Mexican Style Hominy (Juanita's) in place of beans in this dish.  The BBQ sauce is one I use often in most any dish that calls for it.  This is higher in carbs than my usual meals, but it has 11 g net carbs if you count net carbs.  In Dr. Bernstein's diet, he suggests counting half the fiber, which would make it higher for those on his diet.  I go by my meter, and this raised me higher than I like, so it's one I'll have to be careful with I guess.  Yet it is very filling and you don't need much to go a long way!  If you want to lower the carbs you could use black soy beans which hardly have any carbs at all.  I stay away from soy so I don't do that.
