Recipe Tips
- Low carb and keto are all about using full fat flavored foods, so choose ground beef that is at least 85/15%. Be sure to drain it after cooking, however.
- Making a few batches of the seasoned ground beef mixture and several airtight containers of mix-ins can get lunch or dinner on the table as quickly as it takes to reheat the meat! Taco lettuce wraps are a great school or workday lunch!
