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

Keto-Friendly Philly CheesesteakKeto-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!

Keto Beef Stroganoff Soup

Keto Beef Stroganoff Soup recipe can be made with noodles. Be mindful that you cannot cook them too long in the Instant Pot because the noodles will become mushy. Honestly, I do not ever do egg noodles in the instant pot. They never turn outright. I go back to the boiling pot of water and cook them al dente.

Keto Beef Stroganoff Soup

Round steak ( cut in strips and then the strips cut in half)

1 onion

2 tsp. minced garlic

Fresh mushrooms

2 T. butter

Seasoning

Parsley

Directions

For this Keto Beef Stroganoff Soup, saute it up in your instant pot until it is done.

I added 6 beef bouillon cubes and 5 c. water (if you use some noodles, which I did, then this is the time to add them to your instant pot and put enough water to cover them). Place on manual for 3 minutes.

Quick-release pressure.

Add 1/2 c of heavy cream, 1 1/2 c. sour cream, 1 T. dijon mustard, and a squirt of lemon or lime juice.

Mix it up till it is all hot and good.

I hope you enjoy it! I certainly have! Soups are my jam. One day, I hope to create my cookbook. Let me know if you have tips and tricks for learning to do “food photography,” let me know properly.
