List of Ingredients




2 strips of thick bacon, chopped fine (or a couple teaspoons liquid smoke if you don't want to use bacon).
1 small onion, minced
1 clove garlic, minced or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 small can (6 oz) tomato paste
1 can (12 oz) diet (sugar-free) cola - Splenda-sweetened preferred because aspartame sweetened tends to lose it's sweetness after being cooked.
1/4 cup low carb (sugar-free) catsup, (or omit and use about 1TB vinegar and a little sugar free sweetener)
3 T mustard
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Recipe



Fry the bacon in a saucepan - a 2 qt pan works well.

Add the onion and cook over medium until soft - 3-5 minutes. Add garlic at this point if you're using fresh and stir it for half a minute or so.

Add the rest of the ingredients, plus about half a cup of water. Stir well.

Simmer for 20-30 minutes. It will cook down a bit and flavors will combine.

Adjust the seasonings so you have the balance you want - you can add vinegar, artificial sweetener (liquid preferred), or hot sauce. (If it's too hot, adding more sweetener will tone it down.)

The recipe makes approximately 10 servings of 1/4 cup each. Each serving has about 3.5 grams of carbohydrate plus 1 gram of fiber.
