Instant Pot Keto Bolognese
Instant Pot Keto Bolognese Recipe
This is the perfect recipe for when you want a comfort meal but don’t have all day to prepare one. The Instant Pot gives it that cooked-all-day feel, with tender, satisfying meats and rich, but not too thick sauce. Taking out the traditional sugar and carrots makes this keto-approved, but the tomatoes make up for the lack in natural sweetness.

Hearty and delicious, these peppers offer a flavorful kick to your weeknight dinner routine. For more heat, add some jalapeño to the filling. Non-keto eaters would enjoy this recipe just as well, and can pile the filling into a tortilla if desired.

Keto Meatloaf Pie
What’s the secret to a quick, hearty dinner that isn’t overloaded with carbs? A pie plate. Baking a meat “pie” instead of a meatloaf will shave 20 minutes off cooking time, and the buttery cauliflower “mashed potatoes” have a nice tangy taste that cuts through the bitterness of the tender, moist meat. The ketchup glaze on top makes for the perfect bite.
