Ground beef is a low carb dieter’s best friend. It’s inexpensive, tasty and goes great in a lot of keto dishes. I’ve gathered 27 of the best low carb keto ground beef recipes so you will never have to worry what to make for dinner. Check them out! This post is sponsored by the Certified Angus Beef ® brand in conjunction with a social media campaign through Sunday Supper LLC. All opinions are my own.
I always have ground beef in my freezer just in case I don’t have anything in mind for dinner. With this list you can take that pound or two of ground beef and make a low carb casserole or maybe a keto burger. But did you know you can make meat bagels and meat crackers too? Scroll to the bottom to see how.
WHAT KIND OF GROUND BEEF TO USE
When I shop at Giant Eagle, I always check to see if they have Certified Angus Beef® ground beef on sale. I feel that this is the best quality of beef and Giant Eagle has a large selection to choose from.
I usually buy the 85% ground beef because I want some fat for flavor but not too much excess grease. If you have a preference for a fattier meat, just drain some of the grease out and if you want to use a leaner beef, you may need to add a bit more oil to some of these recipes.
