2 7.06 oz Large no drain packages of Starkist premium chunk light tuna in sunflower oil
2 cups Broccoli, florets only, chopped and steamed to crisp tender
1/2 cup of sweet red pepper, chopped and steamed to crisp tender
1 1/2 cups of heavy cream
4 large eggs
2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar (8 oz)
1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
1/4 teaspoon of salt
**You can try different low carb veggies, but adjust the carbs accordingly**
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Blend eggs, cream, salt and pepper together. Stir in the 2 bags of tuna. Next, mix in the cheese, then add the steamed chopped veggies to mixture and blend.
Using 8 disposable pot pie tins (found with the disposable roasters, pie & cake pans, etc.) Add 3/4 cup of mixture to each pot pie tin. Place tins on cookie sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes.
I like fixing them in the pot pie tins because it helps me remain more in control of my portions. Also, once they are cooled completely, you can put them in a freezer bag and freeze them individually for quick meals.
If you decide to bake in a casserole dish, you will have to adjust the baking times.

NOTES: These are AWESOME! I make them in the little pie tins,
put inside a sandwhich bag, seal and freeze! Then, when I want
a quick meal, I pop one into a bowl and nuke it! These are great
for breakfast too - especially when you don't have time to cook!
Someday I am going to make these with chicken. PS: My kids like them too!
