Awesome is right! Tomatoes don't spike me much either, and with the tweaks mentioned by jwags, this dish hits a home run! I'd even bet you could just add a splash of soy sauce to the meat mixture & forget about thickening it . . . just let it reduce a little more to thicken.

For the faux rice, try looking for cauli-rice.

Thanks for all the suggestions. If I keep the tomatoes, use Splenda and the Braggs product, it should taste pretty much the same. I plan to order some Thick It Up today, got to have that gravy. Now all I need to know is how to make faux rice and I'll be all set.

Oh geez! Another gravy nut! heehee! Every recipe I ever had has a note added to it to "double the gravy - there's never enough"!
