INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:
GROUND BEEF:
- You can use ground beef to boost the flavor and raise the fat content. Additionally, it keeps this dish’s moist texture. As an alternative, we may use ground chicken, lamb, or turkey.
CHEDDAR CHEESE:
- The strong flavor and increased creaminess of the filling will come from the cheddar cheese. To provide extra heat, use the pepper jack, Colby, or mozzarella instead.
MAYONNAISE:
- To give the meal a rich, velvety texture, use the mayonnaise. Alternatively, you might use egg mayonnaise or avocado oil mayo.
KETO KETCHUP:
- It will taste sweet and tangy if we add keto ketchup. You can replace it with keto sweetener, tomato paste, or sugar-free barbecue sauce.
BUTTER:
- We choose butter because it has a rich texture and a high moisture level. You might substitute vegan butter, ghee, or coconut oil.
