Keto Ground Beef and Zucchini Skillet Recipe • Low Carb with Jennifer (1)

A lot of times keto ground beef recipes can be on the heavy side...they may contain cream cheese, bacon, or heavy cream to make a rich sauce. I wanted to keep this recipe light and veggie forward. If you're looking for gluten-free pizza substitute rich in mozzarella cheese goodness, checkout my keto ground beef casserole.

These are my favorite types of low-carb meals...easy, nothing fancy, but delicious, healthy and full of flavor. I am loving these Eden black soy beans! They are so delicious, full of fiber, and now I can eat beans again! I find them on Amazon.

    I cooked this with double-zucchini and froze in individual servings. Tomorrow will be my third time to have it for lunch, and it’s perfectly satisfying and filling. Full of flavor! Thank you!

    I added diced onion when cooking the ground meat and minced garlic once the meat was browned.
