This low carb, high protein dinner recipe was submitted by a Target100 weight loss program member Tre as one of her family's go-to's. The recipe would be a prefect weeknight or weekend meal. If meal prepping works for you, the beef in this recipe can easily be prepped and set to cooking in the crockpot in the morning time. Then you can toss together the slaw in the evening.

This meal is amazingly filling on it's own (never underestimate how lots of veggies, especially cabbage, can help with satiety). The flavorful beef is full of protein and low in carbs. If you want to have something with the beef and slaw you can add some cooked rice or a low carb tortilla to turn it into a taco. Have some fun with this recipe. It works so well to share with others and makes for great leftovers!

8 oz can of tomato sauce

2. In a small bow, combine the tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Mix well and pour over the roast.


3. Cover and cook on high for 7-8 hours or until the meat pulls apart easily with two forks.


4. Remove the beef to a cutting board or rimmed roasting pan (to preserve the juices) and shred it with two forks. Add the shredded meat back to the crockpot to allow the beef to soak in the juices for at least 5 minutes.
