- Ground beef, 1 1/2 lb
- One small chopped onion
- Black pepper
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese shreds
- Jalapeño slices
INGREDIENT NOTES:
SALSA:
- You have to select a keto salsa without sugar always. Properly read the instructions. Utilize diced tomato with a pinch of cumin and green chiles in place of salsa.
CHEESE:
- This ingredient includes cheddar and Monterey Jack, which deliver a strong flavor and melt properly. Utilize Pepper Jack or Colby Jack as a replacement to add more spice. For a good texture, you can use freshly shredded cheddar.
GROUND BEEF:
- You can utilize eight by twenty for a good water content and flavor. You can use leaf bean, but it will make the casserole dry. If required, use ground chicken or ground turkey as an alternative, but include more fat, such as olive oil or butter, to maintain a keto diet.
CREAM CHEESE:
- The use of high-fat cream cheese is important to add flavor and texture. Don’t use the lower fat varities because it has high carb count. If required, you can use mascarpone instead.
