The best part is that it’s especially perfect for busy weeknights, with the whole meal coming together incredibly quickly and you can even meal prep it ahead of time to quickly throw into the oven as need be.
The Simple Ingredients For The Delicious Meal
Here are the simple keto diet ingredients that you’ll need to the easy recipe, along with ideas ingredient adaptations to create the perfect meal to suit your own tastes, budget and dietary requirements.
Beef Mince – for the ground meat element I’ve included ground beef mince, you’ll find that the higher the fat content of the meat, the lower the cost, so it’s up to your budget and whether you prefer to include more healthy fats in your diet whether you go for a higher fat or lean ground beef option.
You could also swap for ground turkey, ground chicken, pork or lamb in the simple recipe.
Onion & Garlic – chopped onion and garlic adds flavor and nutritious vegetables to the great recipe. You can use as little or as much of each ingredient, depending on how many carbs you’d like to allocate to the dish, with onion being slightly higher in carbs than other low carb vegetables.
Broccoli – chopped broccoli florets add in flavor, nutritious greens and help the meal to go further and be more filling. You can swap for cauliflower or cauliflower rice, mushrooms, zucchini, green beans, bell peppers or add in any chopped low carb vegetables you’d like.
Cream – to make a creamy sauce that’s low in g net carbs, I’ve included a combination of sour cream and heavy cream. You can feel free to swap one of the creamy ingredients for cream cheese, mascarpone cheese, ricotta cheese or cottage cheese instead, if that’s what you prefer and have available.
Cheese – I find that a good casserole appeals to picky eaters by including plenty of grated cheese within the casserole and crispy, golden brown cheese baked on top. You can use grated cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese or your cheese mix of choice.
Seasonings – season the hearty meal simply with salt and black pepper, or add in your choice of seasoning such as paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, taco seasoning or Italian seasonings.
