Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Keto-friendly macaroni (such as shirataki or konjac noodles)
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 14 oz Canned diced tomatoes
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 4 oz Cream cheese, cubed
- 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Drain and rinse the keto-friendly macaroni according to the package instructions, and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the diced onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook until browned and no longer pink, breaking up the meat with a spatula as it cooks, about 7-8 minutes.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes and reduce the heat to medium. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes.
Add the heavy cream and cubed cream cheese, stirring until the cream cheese is fully melted and incorporated into the sauce.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and mix until melted and smooth.
Add the Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and paprika, mixing well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and fold in the rinsed keto-friendly macaroni until it's well coated with the cheese and beef mixture.
Allow the dish to heat through for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your Keto Macaroni with Ground Beef!
