KETO APPROVED - Dinner Bombs - Yummy Bacon, Filling Beef, and Cheesey Goodness

-
I love meatloaf, but wanted a unique taste and way to eat it while getting your fats for the day in. This meatloaf has all the keto goodness you crave, we are talking bacon, cheese, and beef! 

My husband and I made this special dinner for my parents, who are not on Keto, and they want me to start making this on the regular! There will be some variations depending on how you want your final dinner bomb to come out.

Let's get started!!

  • 1 lb of Ground Beef - I used 80/20 Calories - 1,279; Fat 105.19g; Carbs 0gram; Fiber 0g; Protein 77.61g

***Depending on the brands used your nutritional information may vary, use this as a guide!
Directions:
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 F. 
  2. Cut your raw bacon into 1/2 inch to 1 inch pieces - the smaller you cut the more chance of getting a bacon in every bite. So i cut mine into 1/2. 
  3. In a bowl mix all of your ingredients together, don't be afraid to get down and dirty by using your hands. It will be the easiest way to mix everything.
  4. Here is where you are going to have a variation. I used a muffin tin with 6 spots, so my bombs were a good size. You can also use a muffin tin with 12 spots. The difference between the two will be the cooking time. Coat your muffin tin with non-stick spray, and grabbing some of the mixture at a time mold into a ball.

  5. Confirm that the oven is heated to 350 F, and pop them in. If you are using a 6 muffin tin, bake for 30 minutes, then flip the bomb in the tin and bake for an additional 30 minutes. 
  6. Allow your bombs to cool, and then enjoy! 

 
I paired my dinner bombs with a simple salad and dipped in low sugar ketchup, and my husband mixed his into his salad and added ranch. Pair with mashed cauliflower, or one of your favorite keto sides.

Some Tips!

  •  Coconut flour may be substituted, please check on a conversion chart.
  • Want a spicy kick?? Add sliced jalapeno pieces to your mixture.
  • Love onions?? Add half of a small onion to your mixture.
  • Don't enjoy beef?? Use ground chicken or turkey.
  • These dinner bombs are awesome for meal prep, make a batch at a time and enjoy them all week with different sides.

Keto Costco Ultimate Shopping List

I love Costco for Keto friendly foods! Bulk size and alot of the time you pay regular sized prices! It may be a big bill up front, but in the long run you will save. I would say that’s a win-win! This is going to be an extensive list, but because products are ever changing and sometimes available for certain times, all of these may not be there when you go. Some pictures also have prices, which may be different at your store! Here is a picture of my haul my patient husband and I did! Total spent was $100! Before we get started you will need to know what type of Keto you follow. Check out this link:  What type of Keto are you?  These items will all fit under the Dirty Keto definition, but not all will fit under Strict Keto. If you are Strict Keto please check your labels in regards to the ingredients so that you only buy for the plan you are on. First I am going to list my top 11 Costco must haves:  Egg Thins!! These are only 8 calories each! Use them as torti...

Fathead Dough Pastries!

Ready for a pastry that you will love? This recipe will have 3 variations, which I hope will also inspire you to create your own combination. We are first going to make a basic fat head dough, and create a filling! The top left is my peach / cream cheese pastry, I love peach and have been missing the flavor of it. The top right, which is hands down the best of the 3 is strawberry / cream cheese! I could eat this every meal of every day! Lastly the bottom of the bunch, was also my least favorite, I used Lily's Chocolate mixed with cream cheese. It was ... well it was ok. I rather spend my macros on the other two. But I thought I would still share in case you have a better idea and would like to make this better!! *******Disclaimer ******* if you are strict keto (ingredients are clean and you don't eat naughty things), then the fillings, except for the chocolate one will not work for you. You will, however, be able to use the the strawberry filling if you use store bou...
