Keto dinners with ground beef are here to save the day! Not only are they quick and easy so you can get dinner on the table fast, but this collection of low-carb dinner ideas is family-friendly too. Easy keto recipes like these make adhering to a keto diet practical and enjoyable.
Keto Dinners with Ground Beef
Ground beef is probably the meat I use most often for my family dinners. It works so well in all types of low carb dinner ideas.
From casseroles to soup, stir-fry recipes to meat pie, meatballs to skillet recipes there are so many delicious and easy keto dinners with ground beef to make.
These are all great for meal prepping too. I recommend finding your top 3 favorite recipes and making double batches whenever you cook the meal. Serve what you need hot and fresh, then save the leftovers in the refrigerator or freezer.
Once cooked, food is typically safe to keep in an air-tight container for 3-5 days.
If you know you won’t eat it before then, pack the recipe up in a freezer-safe plastic bag or container and stash it in the freezer for up to 3 months. Always label the dish with the name and date so you can remember what it is.
Low Carb Ground Beef Recipes for Dinner
Anytime you find a good deal on ground beef, I recommend you stock up! It freezes well so you can stock up and save it for months in the freezer.
Once you’re ready, take it out the night before and let it defrost in the refrigerator overnight. Then prepare the recipe by following the specific directions.
Cooking low-carb dinner meals with ground beef is really easy once you get the hang of it.
There are a few simple swaps to keep in mind
- Anytime a recipe uses rice, you can use cauliflower rice.
- Have potatoes in a recipe? Replace it with a low-carb mashed potatoes alternative or cubed keto-approved vegetables like turnips, parsnips, or cauliflower.
- Bread can always be substituted with a keto option. My all-time favorite loaf is this keto bread with psyllium husk, I use it for just about everything.
