Perfect for busy weeknight dinners, family gatherings, keto meal prep, or anyone craving a warm, cheesy homemade meal without the extra carbs!

Prep Time:** 15 minutes
Cook Time:** 30 minutes
Total Time:** 45 minutes
Servings:** 6
Difficulty:** Easy

Ingredients:

- 1½ lbs (680g) ground beef
- 4 cups fresh green beans, trimmed
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Green Beans:** Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add the trimmed green beans, and cook for 4–5 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp. Drain thoroughly and set aside. If using frozen green beans, thaw and remove excess moisture before adding them to the casserole.

2. Cook the Ground Beef:** Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds. Add ground beef and cook for 7–9 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon until completely browned. Drain excess grease, then season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.

3. Make the Creamy Cheese Sauce:** Reduce the heat to low. Add softened cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, and sour cream to the cooked beef. Stir gently until the cream cheese melts and creates a smooth, rich sauce. Mix in ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese and continue stirring until everything is creamy and well combined. If the sauce becomes too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons of water or heavy cream.

4. Assemble the Casserole:** Add the cooked green beans to the beef mixture and gently stir until evenly coated with the creamy sauce. Transfer everything into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1½ cups cheddar cheese and ½ cup mozzarella over the top, making sure the casserole is completely covered with delicious cheese.

5. Bake Until Golden and Bubbly:** Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown. For a crispier cheese topping, broil for an additional 1–2 minutes while watching carefully. Remove from the oven, let rest for 5 minutes, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve warm!

Keto Low-Carb Pizza Roll-Ups

Crispy cheese wraps filled with pepperoni and pizza flavor—an easy snack ready in minutes!

Servings: 4 | Makes: 8 roll-ups
Prep time: 5 minutes | Cook time: 12–16 minutes

Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
- 24 small pepperoni slices
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ cup thick, no-added-sugar pizza sauce, for dipping
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Arrange four separate piles of mozzarella on the sheet, using ¼ cup per pile. Flatten each into a circle about 5 inches wide, leaving space between them.
3. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Place three pepperoni slices across the middle of each circle.
4. Bake for 6–8 minutes, until the cheese bubbles and the edges turn lightly golden.
5. Let cool for 30–60 seconds, until the cheese holds together but remains flexible.
6. Carefully lift one edge with a spatula and roll tightly around the pepperoni. Place seam-side down. Work carefully—the cheese will be hot.
7. Repeat with the remaining cheese and pepperoni to make eight roll-ups.
8. Rest for 2–3 minutes to firm up, then serve with warm pizza sauce for dipping.
Tip: Roll while the cheese is still flexible. If it becomes too firm, return it to the oven briefly to soften. Keep the sauce on the side for crispier roll-ups.

Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat briefly in a skillet over medium-low heat. Carb counts depend on your cheese, pepperoni, and sauce.

Servings: 6
Prep time: 10 minutes
Bake time: 35–45 minutes

Ingredients
- 2 cups full-fat cottage cheese, excess liquid drained
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup granulated keto sweetener that measures like sugar
- 2 tablespoons melted butter, plus extra for greasing
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest, optional
- Pinch of salt

- ¼ cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
2. Blend the cottage cheese, eggs, sweetener, melted butter, and vanilla until mostly smooth.
3. Add almond flour, baking powder, salt, and optional lemon zest. Blend briefly until combined.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared dish and spread evenly.
5. Gently fold in half the berries, then scatter the remaining berries over the top.
6. Bake for 35–45 minutes, until the edges are golden and the center is set with a slight jiggle. If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
7. Let cool for 15–20 minutes before slicing. The casserole will firm up as it cools.
8. Serve warm, or refrigerate for a chilled, cheesecake-like texture.
Tips: Pat the berries dry before adding them. If using frozen berries, add them straight from frozen and allow a little extra baking time. Carbs vary with your cottage cheese and sweetener, so calculate using your product labels.

Keto Greek Yogurt Brownies

Rich, fudgy chocolate brownies made with Greek yogurt, almond flour, and crunchy walnuts.

Servings: 12
Prep time: 10 minutes
Bake time: 20–25 minutes

Ingredients
- ½ cup plain, full-fat Greek yogurt, at room temperature
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- ½ cup granulated keto sweetener that measures like sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup finely ground almond flour

- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup sugar-free chocolate chips
- ¼ cup chopped walnuts, optional
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch square metal baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Whisk Greek yogurt, eggs, melted butter, sweetener, and vanilla until smooth.
3. In another bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
4. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and half the walnuts.
5. Spread the batter evenly in the pan and sprinkle the remaining walnuts on top.

7. Cool completely in the pan. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing for a firmer, fudgy texture.
Tip: Avoid overbaking, which can make the brownies dry. Use thick Greek yogurt and a sweetener specifically intended for baking.

For the bars:
- 1 cup Libby’s 100% pure pumpkin purée
- 2 cups finely ground blanched almond flour
- 3 large eggs
- ⅓ cup butter, melted and cooled
- ½ cup granulated erythritol or a 1:1 sugar-replacement blend

4. Bake: Spread batter into the pan. Bake for 25–35 minutes, until the center is set and a toothpick comes out without wet batter. Loosely cover with foil if the top browns too quickly.
