CARB TACO CASSEROLE

yield: MAKES 6-8 SERVINGS.

total time: 50 MINUTES

prep time: 20 MINUTES

cook time: 30 MINUTES

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 cans (10 oz. each) Ro-Tel Tomatoes with green chiles, mild (If you can’t find Ro-Tel tomatoes where you live, use a 14.5 oz. can petite diced tomatoes and a 4 oz. can diced green chiles.)
  • 1 medium-large onion, chopped small
  • 2 T olive oil, divided
  • 1 lb. cauliflower rice (If you can’t find pre-chopped riced cauliflower in your store, chop a small head of cauliflower in the food processor.)
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onion
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 T Kalyn’s Taco Seasoning Mix (See note)
  • 1 tsp. salt (or to taste)
  • 2 cups + 1 cup grated Mexican Blend Cheese (Use less cheese if you prefer; we wanted it cheesy!)

  • DIRECTIONS:

    1. Dump the Ro-Tel tomatoes into a colander placed in the sink and let them drain while you prep other ingredients.
    1. Heat oven to 375F/190C and spray a large casserole dish with olive oil or non-stick spray. (I used an oval-shaped dish that was 11″ long and 8″ wide at the widest point.)
    1. Chop the onion, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large frying pan, and cook onion until it’s cooked through and starting to get some color.
    1. Add the cauliflower rice and cook over medium-high heat until the moisture in the cauliflower has mostly evaporated and there’s no water in the bottom of the pan, about 3-4 minutes.
    1. Turn off heat and stir in the sliced green onions. Transfer the cooked cauliflower rice to a bowl.
    1. Heat the second tablespoon of olive oil to the pan, add the ground beef, and cook until it’s browned, breaking apart with a turner as it cooks. Add the Taco Seasoning and cook 1-2 minutes more, then add the drained Ro-Tel Tomatoes and cook another minute or two.
    1. Stir in the cauliflower rice, season with salt to taste, and cook until it’s heated through.
    1. Turn off heat and stir in 2 cups grated Mexican blend cheese.
    1. Transfer mixture to the casserole dish and top with another cup of grated Mexican Blend.
    1. Bake about 30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling hot and cheese is nicely browned on top.
    1. Serve hot, with things like salsa, green tabasco sauce , Sour Cream, Guacamole, Pico de Gallo, or chopped avocado to add at the table as desired.

Keto Chocolate Cake Donuts

Keto Classic Chocolate Cake Donuts

Ingredients

For Donuts

  • 1/3 cup coconut flour
  • 1/3 cup Swerve Sweetener
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 6 tbsp brewed coffee or water coffee intensifies the chocolate flavour

Glaze:

  • 1/4 cup powdered Swerve Sweetener
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 to 2 tbsp water

Instructions

Donuts:

  1. Preheat the oven to 325F and grease a donut pan very well.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, sweetener, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract, then stir in the cold coffee or water until well combined.
  3. Divide the batter among the wells of the donut pan. If you have a six-well donut pan, you may need to work in batches.
  4. Bake 16 to 20 minutes, until the donuts are set and firm to the touch. Remove and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then flip out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Glaze:

  1. In a medium shallow bowl, whisk together the powdered sweetener and cocoa powder. Add the heavy cream and vanilla and whisk to combine.
  2. Add enough water until the glaze thins out and is of a “dippable” consistency, without being too watery.
  3. Dip the top of each donut into the glaze and let set, about 30 minutes.

Recipe Notes

How many donuts you get depends on the size of your donut pan. You will likely get 8 to 10 donuts.

A FEW TIPS ON MAKING COCONUT FLOUR DONUTS:

  • Don’t skimp on the eggs! Coconut flour won’t rise without them. I have had no luck as yet making coconut flour baked goods without eggs.
  • You really can’t substitute any other flour in this recipe.
  • Grease your pan well. I think this USA Donut Pan works best. It’s so non-stick, the donuts practically fall right out!
