Following a new diet can be a serious struggle especially when strong cravings creep up. While the ketogenic diet doesn’t tolerate carbs there are still many delicious foods you can enjoy.

Using ground beef as the main ingredient is an easy way to add protein to your meals.

Here we have found 15 ketogenic meals that all revolve around ground beef and are perfect for dinner.

Chili is a timeless classic meal. It’s full of savory ingredients and is perfect for cold or dreary days. Not only is this chili low carb but it’s high in fat too making it a great contender for your ketogenic diet.
To create this delicious chili you’ll start by browning the meat and then add in the chopped vegetables soon after. This meal finishes in a large pot or slow cooker, your choice. The longer the cooking time the more the ingredients will morphe together creating one delightful bite.

Growing up, Shepard’s pie used to be one of my favorite meals, mostly because of the delicious mashed potato top layer. Potatoes are high in carbs and aren’t keto-approved but no need to worry because with this recipe you too can continue to enjoy a favorite like Shepard’s pie.
The top layer is created with creamy mashed cauliflower that won’t make you miss your beloved potatoes at all. Underneath the pillowy mashed cauliflower is a layer of savory ground beef. This will please the whole family, even if you have family members who aren’t following the keto diet.

Once the shells have been formed all that is left is preparing the filling. This is done by browning ground beef with savory seasonings. Make sure to have loads of keto-approved toppings on hand, such as avocado, cheese, lettuce and sour cream to build the perfect taco.
7. Jalapeno Poppers
Jalapenos are awesome appetizers, especially for parties. However, with a few added ingredients such as ground beef, they can quickly become a delicious meal too.
This recipe begins by halving jalapenos and then browning the ground beef. Cream cheese is added to the ground beef to make the mixture extra creamy. To assemble, scoop the mixture into each jalapeno, wrap with a piece of bacon and sprinkle with cheddar cheese. They’ll finish in the oven and you’ll know they’re finished when the bacon gets crispy.
