This Keto Basic Ground Beef recipe is the first in a series of budget-friendly recipes to help you get the most out of this cheap cut of meat. Our first recipe is just browning, portioning and storing for later meals.
We’ve put together a series to make 8 recipes out of 4 pounds of Ground Beef (scroll down to see what’s coming). Once the beef is cooked, dinners will be super quick and easy to throw together – not to mention super tasty too!
Quick tip before getting started; we use the highest fat ground beef that is available which is called “3 stars” or 15% fat. There will be some rendering of the fat as it cooks and it will look like water in your frying pan – we want that fat to stay with the beef, please don’t drain it off.
This Keto Basic Ground Beef recipe makes 8 portions of approximately 200g/7oz. Each of these portions can be used to make a different meal.
Store leftover Keto Basic Ground Beef in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
