This was my first shot at a low sodium recipe. If all low salt recipes taste like this, I'll have no problem sticking to a low sodium diet. This is packed with flavor. I added some chopped cilantro at the end of the cooking time for another bit of flavor. The only change I'll make next time is to cut down on the amount of brown sugar to 1 tablespoon. Otherwise, this was perfect. -
Maybe I feel this way because this was the first recipe I made on my low sodium journey, but this was absolutely amazing! Didn’t miss the salt at all. I used chipotle pepper instead of chili powder (ran out) and it was smoky and sweet. It was just a tad too sweet for me, but I’m about to make a double batch and I’ll just cut the sugar in half. Thank you so much for this recipe!

My wife and I started by making our own salt free ketchup and then adding minced garlic instead of powder (we love garlic). It turned out amazing. Thanks for the recipe. -
Wow this was so tasty. I made it as written except with ground beef 80/20 instead of turkey. My daughter and I thought it a bit sweet, but my husband didn’t agree. My family is adapting very well to my new low sodium lifestyle. I really want to make things that taste delicious for their sacrifice.

Very good. Just be careful of the chili powder you use. Make sure you get one that doesn't have a lot of salt in it. Some do and some have none.

Sub plain tomato sauce plus maybe 1 tablespoon brown sugar for ketchup. Ketchup is mainly glucose in some form. I'm diabetic so that's more important for me than lowering salt. I think they taste more vibrant without all the sugar. -
This was perfect! Flavorful and easy. I used a red bell pepper instead of green and a red chili pepper diced. Everything else was per the recipe and it was excellent, huge hit and I will make it again.

I am in the Air Force. I'm married and have 2 kids. I am in to Harleys and cooking. The main reaso n I'm here is because I have a kidney problem that restricts me to a low sodium diet. Since I love to cook I thought I would share some recipes.
