Keto Beef Helper

tasty 2 Comments

This meal is so good and is a perfect base for other style easy one pan dinners. Just change out some of the veggies for cheddar cheese cream sauce and you’ll get Keto cheeseburger helper. It’s amazing how cabbage and beef go so well together. I would say the cabbage reminds me of noodles and is definitely satisfying. It’s a weekly favorite around here and goes nicely by its self, on top of mixed lettuce or on top of cauliflower rice! This very filling dinner idea is way to easy and delicious to not share. 

Share questions and comments below and I’ll try to get back to you asap. Thank you!

  • 1-2 Carrots Chopped
  • 1 Cups Cabbage Chopped
  • 1 Cup Red Cabbage Chopped
  • 4 Green Onions Chopped

  • Over medium heat start sautéing the onions first for about 5 minutes before adding in the carrots. 
  • Continue to sauté onions and carrots for a few minutes before adding in your beef. 
  • Salt and pepper your meat as soon as you put it in your pan.
  • You can chop all the veggies up a head of time or you can cut them up as you go.
  • Chop up the cabbage to the size you want. Keep in mind the cabbage will shrink and cook down. 
  • Add the chopped green onions, green peppers and garlic last. 
  •  I find it easier to chop as you go and you'll also use less dishes to do this;)

Keto Shepherd’s Pie

tasty 2 Comments

I have had this one on my list of  keto dinners to make. I thought it would be fun to completely switch it up. So instead of using carrots and peas, I used celery and onions! I like the veggies in my shepherd’s pie more chunky but this is your dish to do as you wish. Let me know what you think in the comments below and happy cooking!

Keto Shepherds Pie

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees and cook for 45-50 minutes.
  • I started by chopping up the celery and onions. Cook the veggies in bacon fat but you can use what you have on hand.
  • I let the onions cook for a few minutes before adding celery and garlic. Once all of that cooks for a few minutes add the meat and cook till browned and then add broth in and let that cook for about 10-15 minutes, until it condenses and then add the tomato paste in and stir until well combined.
  • Add the arrowroot starch, mix it in and let it bubble before turning off the heat and setting aside. 
  • Steam the cauliflower before putting it in blender! Once you have done this add in the 2 cups of parmesan, 2 egg yolks, stick of butter and the spices that you want. This will not take long at all.
  • Save some parmesan to top it before putting it in oven!

Keto Chicken Masala

Ingredients

Chicken Marinade

  • 2 Pounds Chicken Thighs
  • 1 Cup Plain Yogurt
  • 4 Garlic Cloves
  • 1 Tbsp Fresh Ginger
  • 2 Tsp Grama Masala
  • 1 Tsp Salt

For The Sauce

  • 2 Onions (save some for rice)
  • 4 Garlic Cloves
  • 2 Bay Leaves
  • 1 Tbsp Fresh Ginger
  • 3 Tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 2 Tsp Coriander Ground
  • 2 Tsp Cumin Ground
  • 2 Tsp Garam Masala
  • 1 Tsp Red chili powder
  • 1. Cups Tomato sauce
  • 1 Cup Heavy cream I used coconut cream

For The Rice

  • 2-3 Tbsp Butter
  • 1 Onion
  • 1 Green Pepper Blanched and cut up
  • 1 Red Pepper Blanched and cut up
  • 1 Cauliflower Riced
  • Salt and pepper

For the naan bread

  • Some gee for frying
  • 1/2 Cup coconut flour
  • 2 Tbsp Psyillium husk 8 grams (don't omit this, this is the ingredient that holds everything together!)
  • 1/2 Tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 Cup Hot Water

Instructions

  • Make the chicken marinade first and put in fridge. Prep everything else! Have the rice and all the veggies prepared before you start frying or baking the chicken. Trust me this will make your life easier. If you're baking the chicken, bake at 350F for about 25 minutes or until done.
  • If frying, fry the chicken in the gee on high (don't throw away any juices) then once mostly cooked take out of the pan and set aside. Turn heat down to medium and sauté' the onions in that same pan and then add the garlic and all other spices, cook for a minute then add tomato sauce and cook for about 10-15 minutes stirring frequently.
  • Once it looks a bit orange then add the cream in and mix well. Add the meat and all juices back in to that and cook for another 15-20 minutes on medium-low heat.
  • While that's simmering cook the rice, the rice won't take long at all, maybe 10-15 minutes.

For The Naan Bread

  • Add the dry ingredients to a bowl and mix. Heat up the water and pour that in the dry mix. It should form a dough like ball. Cut the ball into 4-6 smaller balls and start to roll out. Heat up a pan with a little bit of oil. Put the keto naan bread into a hot skillet and cook until brown on both sides.
