Keto meatballs

Bake up a batch of these dairy free carnivore meatballs and eat them for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Easy to take with you to work, if you're on a road trip (keep warm in an insulated carrier or container) or to break up into a salad or over zoodles.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground sausage
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 5-6 slices bacon, chopped (freeze partially to make chopping easier)
  • 1 egg to bind
  • 1/4 cup ground up pork rinds or pork panko
  • Italian seasoning blend to taste
  • 1-2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well with clean hands. Shape into balls and bake at 350F until meatballs reach an internal temperature of 160. Meatballs should be brown with a slight crust forming.

Bolognese with zoodles

Make your favorite bolognese using a combination of ground beef, ground sausage and or ground pork. Simmer long enough in sugar free tomato sauce with onion, garlic and italian herbs to let the flavor really develop.

Stir the zoodles in (you can prep them too, they keep fresh for several days in a sealed container) as you're reheating to get them to wilt slightly yet keep a nice bite.

Bacon and egg salad

This is a favorite breakfast of mine.

Combine grated hard cooked eggs, crumbled crisp bacon, optional shredded cheddar, mayo, celery and a bit of mustard. Season to taste. When making a meal prep leave out the bacon and add before eating so it's crispy. Lots of texture, flavor and plenty of protein to keep you full for hours.

Pulled pork

I love to make a simple pulled pork because of how versatile it is. Cook it simply then you can switch up the flavor when you eat your portion for your meal. I like to run it under the broiler to make crispy bit and add sugar free bbq sauce. Or have it in a low carb wrap with no sugar added coleslaw.
