Sure, here’s a recipe for Keto Taco Stuffed Shells:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef or turkey
- 1 package of large shell-shaped low carb pasta (you can find these in specialty stores or online)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 packet of taco seasoning (ensure it’s low carb or make your own with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped tomatoes (optional)
- Sliced jalapenos (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the low carb pasta shells according to the package instructions until al dente. Make sure not to overcook them, as they’ll be baked later.
- While the shells are cooking, brown the ground beef or turkey in a skillet over medium heat. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the taco seasoning to the cooked meat according to the packet instructions. If you’re using your own seasoning blend, add it to taste and adjust the salt and pepper accordingly.
- Once the pasta shells are cooked, drain them and let them cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked meat mixture with 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix well.
- Stuff each pasta shell with the meat and cheese mixture and place them in a baking dish.
- Once all the shells are stuffed and arranged in the baking dish, sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
- Garnish with dollops of sour cream, chopped green onions, chopped tomatoes, and sliced jalapenos if desired.
