Keto-Friendly Enchilada Casserole

Keto-Friendly Enchilada CasseroleKeto-Friendly Enchilada Casserole

This is a recipe that I needed to be able to throw together quickly.  Actually, my #2 kid is making the Keto-Friendly Enchilada Casserole.  Now, she knows how to cook but according to my husband…nothing tastes as good as my food.  #browniepointsforhim

Next time, we will go lighter on the cilantro EO or maybe use fresh.  I’m not a big fan of cilantro but I know that it is supposed to “bring the flavors together.”  Oh, and be a “bright note” on a heavy dish LOL.  Clearly, I’m watching too much Guy’s Grocery Games.

Ingredients

4 cans of chicken, drained (you can use fresh, but I didn’t have any)

1 can chile peppers

Cilantro (I used 4 drops of doTerra essential oil)

Cheddar

Enchilada Sauce

Olive oil

Onion

Minced garlic

Seasoning

6 T. chili powder (or to taste start with less and add as your palate can handle)

Cumin

2 cans tomato sauce

1 c. water

Directions

In a pan, bring together the oil, onion, garlic, and seasoning.  Saute till the onion is cooked through.  Add the chili powder, cumin, tomato sauce, and water.  Simmer till it thickens up.

In a bowl, add chicken, sauce, chile peppers, cilantro, cheddar, and the sauce.  Stir well.  Place in 13×9 greased dish.  Add more cheddar on top.  Cook at 350 for 15 minutes.  Serve with cauliflower rice.

Keto-Friendly Philly Cheesesteak

This is a really good Keto-Friendly Philly Cheesesteak recipe.

Ingredients

Round steak

Montreal steak seasoning

Onion

Garlic

3 green peppers

Fresh mushrooms

Bacon grease

1 block of cream cheese

2 c. cheddar

1/2 c. mayo

2 T. Worcestershire sauce

Provolone

Directions

In an electric skillet, get bacon grease hot.  Cut round steak into strips and then I cut those strips in half.  Throw them in the skillet.  Add your onion, garlic, mushrooms, Montreal seasoning, and sliced-up peppers.  Saute this until you have sweated out the veggies and they are tender but not mushy.

In Bowl

Add the cream cheese, cheddar, mayo, and Worcestershire sauce.  Mix this well and pour over the meat and veggies.  In a greased baking dish, add your meat/veggies.  Then layer on TONS of provolone…cause ya know…cheese.

Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes.  Let sit for a minute.  This can be served with “burnt” rice cauliflower.

This Keto-Friendly Philly Cheesesteak is a delicious twist on the classic, combining the savory flavors of round steak, sautéed veggies, and melty cheese for a satisfying low-carb dish. The use of cream cheese and cheddar creates a creamy, rich sauce that coats the steak and vegetables perfectly, while the provolone on top adds an extra layer of gooey, cheesy goodness. The bacon grease infuses the steak with extra flavor, making each bite even more indulgent. Serve this dish alongside some “burnt” rice cauliflower to keep things low-carb and add a bit of texture to your meal. It’s an easy, flavorful, and keto-approved dinner the whole family will love!

Chicken and Rice Soup (Instant Pot)

Brandi C

Chicken and Rice Soup (Instant Pot)

Chicken and Rice Soup (Instant Pot) is one of my newest creations. Simple and easy clean-up! This is an all-in-one soup that I cook all year round.

Chicken and Rice Soup (Instant Pot)

1 carton of gluten-free chicken broth

Minced onions

2 cans of chicken, drained

Seasoning

Oregano

Italian Seasoning

4 c. cooked rice

1/2 c. sour cream

Cream of chicken soup

1 c. milk

2 c. cheddar cheese soup

Instructions

Place all ingredients except the sour cream, milk, and cheddar cheese in an instant pot. Please note that any recipe (for an Instant Pot) that calls for milk products should be added AFTER the soup is done cooking. If you add it before, it can lead to explosions (experience) and curdling (experience).

Once the pressure is released, the soup is super hot, so there is no problem with melting the cheese. Add all dairy ingredients, including cream, 1/2 and 1/2, sour cream, cream cheese, cheese, etc.

Turn on soup mode and let run until done. My rice was not entirely done enough, so I stirred it up well and put it on manual for another 10 minutes.

Once done, add the milk, sour cream, and cheddar. Stir until it is all melded well.
