31 Easy Keto Dinner Recipes

The Keto diet has taken the world by storm. This low-carb, high-fat diet is aimed at reducing your calorie intake from common foods like white bread, sugar, and pastries. Like most diets, though, they do require some sacrifice.

This sacrifice of our favorite foods can make dieting difficult. Fortunately, with the 31 recipes we listed here, you won’t have to give up any of your favorite foods.

Macaroni and cheese, beef stew, and ooey-gooey casseroles are all still available to eat, just tweaked a little to fit the Keto diet lifestyle.

If you are thinking of going on the Keto diet or are already on it and looking for new healthy recipes to try, you’ve come to the right place. These are our top 31 keto dinner recipes you and your family will love.

1. Easy Low Carb Keto Beef Stew Recipe

There’s nothing quite like a warm bowl of beef stew on a cold winter’s day.

This is a quick and simple recipe to make, only requiring about 10 minutes of prep.

The secret ingredient in this dish is celery root, which has a buttery and earthy flavor.

If you don’t have celery roots, you can use chopped celery instead. If you are using celery root, make sure to add it in about 15 minutes before the stew stops cooking to avoid it from becoming super mushy.

Next time you’re asking yourself, What to Serve With Beef Stew, we recommend some riced or mashed cauliflower and crunchy carrots.

2. Greek Meatballs with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce

Red pepper makes any dish delicious, and these Greek meatballs are no exception.

Perfect as a side dish or served as an appetizer at parties, the secret ingredient in this tasty dish is the ground turkey, as it provides a great base to build upon and doesn’t overpower any flavors.

If you don’t have ground turkey or aren’t a fan, you can use pork or lamb instead. Since they’re meatballs, you can even swap the turkey out for some veggie noodles instead, too.

3. Garlic Butter Chicken

Are you a chicken lover? Us, too, which is why we recommend this tasty dish. Garlic and butter are a dynamite combination together and work so well with a juicy slab of chicken.

The secret ingredient here is, of course, the garlic, as it’s what builds the flavor of this dish.

However, if you want, you can add a little lemon sprinkle if you want some additional flavor.

This recipe calls for white wine, but if you don’t have it or prefer not to include it, you can use chicken broth instead. The flavors will be different, but they’ll still be tasty (we promise!)

4. Low-Carb Cauliflower Mac and Cheese Recipe

Cauliflower has become a popular alternative for pizza, mashed potatoes, and now even mac and cheese.

Since this recipe omits noodles, the secret ingredient you don’t want to overlook is the cheese.

Feel free to play this recipe up and use everything from cheddar to provolone and even pepper jack.

There’s no wrong answer here, which is what we love about this unique and healthy recipe.

You can swap out the heavy cream used to make the cheese sauce for a non-dairy alternative or grass fed-dairy products instead.

5. Keto Broccoli Salad (Low Carb, No Sugar)

Broccoli, cheese, and bacon – it’s a trio that tastes oh so good together.

The secret ingredient in this dish is the apple cider vinegar, which compliments the broccoli and adds a little bit of sweetness to the creamy and decadent salad.

If you don’t have apple cider vinegar, you can use a little lemon juice.

It’s not as sweet, but sometimes that’s more preferred depending on your pallet. Feel free to experiment with this dish and add nuts and raisins to it for a crunchy element.

6. Ground Beef & Broccoli Casserole

Do you love cheeseburgers? What about lasagna? If your answer to both questions was yes, then this is the perfect dinner recipe for you.

Broccoli and ground beef taste great together, especially when topped with some melty cheese.

The secret ingredient is the cheese and type of meat you use, so feel free to experiment with your preference.

If you don’t have ground beef, swap it out for some ground turkey instead for a similar taste and consistency.

This recipe will have you and your kids wanting seconds. It’s one of our favorite Low Carb Casserole Recipes.

7. Keto Bacon Mushroom Chicken in Cream Sauce

Bacon and mushrooms are a little bit of an odd pairing, but it somehow just works…especially when you add in the tasty cream sauce.

If you don’t want to use the bacon, no worries; you can swap it out for turkey bacon instead to make it healthier.

The secret ingredient in this recipe is mushrooms. While it’s recommended that you use white mushrooms, this dish tastes just as great with shiitake and portobello mushrooms.

The soft mushrooms pair great with the crunchy texture of the bacon, regardless of which type you go with. As culinary experts say, “it’s a complete bite.”

8. Low Carb Chicken Parmesan Stuffed Zucchini Boat

Are you looking for healthy keto recipes? If so, why not try this one out for size? Zucchini is one of those versatile vegetables that tastes great with tomato sauce and cheese.

I don’t make the rules, but trust me on this one. Plus, the zucchini boats are a lot of fun to carve up, so it’s a nice way to get your kids involved in the dinner process.

The secret ingredient here is the marinara sauce because it can be as mild or as spicy as you like.

If you don’t have marinara sauce, you can make your own sauce by adding in some diced tomatoes instead.

The flavor profile will be similar, and you can still enjoy this family-fun recipe.

9. Keto Lasagna Stuffed Peppers

Instead of being stuffed with rice, bell peppers are stuffed with ricotta cheese, marinara sauce, and parmesan cheese that’s cooked to a golden brown.

The secret ingredient is ricotta cheese because it provides a similar texture to the rice traditionally found in this recipe.

If you don’t have bell peppers, you can use red or yellow peppers instead.

You could even try to get a little wild and use a poblano pepper instead for some additional heat.

What Goes With Stuffed Peppers, though? We recommend some veggie spaghetti or keto garlic bread.

10. Keto Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas

Do you love Mexican food but wish it didn’t have so many calories? If so, you’ll love this unique recipe.

The shrimp elevates this dish to the next level, and you add green, red, and yellow peppers for some delicious flavor.

The secret ingredient in this dish is sour cream, which brings everything together.

What’s so great about this dish is that you get all the traditional flavors of a fajita without the tortilla.

If you don’t have shrimp or don’t like seafood, you can use this same recipe but add in your preferred type of meat for a dish that’s customized to you.

Tasty and easy to make, this is one of those easy weeknight keto dinners. If you’re looking for Fajita side dishes, why not pair them with some homemade tomato salsa and keto tortilla chips?

11. Low Carb Chicken Spaghetti

For this recipe, you’ll be swapping out traditional pasta for noodles made from zucchini.

You can either buy these in the store or make them yourself with a spaghetti noodle maker.

The secret ingredient here is the type of veggie pasta you use, but don’t hold yourself back and think you only have to use zucchini.

You can make veggie pasta from carrots, beets, and even squash, so feel free to experiment with different flavors.

The possibilities are endless when you’re making your spaghetti noodles.

12. Cheesy Mexican Ground Beef & Cauliflower Rice

Like we mentioned in other recipes, cauliflower has become a great substitute for other carbs, including rice, which is the star of this unique dish.

Riced cauliflower not only tastes great but is healthy for you…not to mention it tastes great when combined with cheese.

The secret ingredient in this dish is taco seasoning, as it gives it a little Mexican flair.

If you don’t have ground beef or wish to use it, you can swap it out for ground turkey.

It has the same texture and makes this dish even healthier. This ranks as one of the Best Ground Beef Recipes (in our opinion!)

13. Keto Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole

Nothing goes together quite like chicken, bacon, and ranch, and this casserole proves it.

The secret ingredient in this dish is the ranch dressing, as it elevates the flavor of this dish to something fierce!

If you don’t have ranch dressing or a ranch packet, you can get a similar flavor by mixing plain greek yogurt and black pepper, garlic, and dill.

It won’t be the same, but it’ll be similar enough to compliment the other ingredients in this recipe.

This is one of our favorites that you and your kids will love for family dinner night.

14. Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff (Low Carb Keto Beef Stroganoff)

Are you looking for something new to make this upcoming holiday season? Try this tasty beef stroganoff.

The slow cooker brings out all the juices, which makes this recipe extra flavorful.

You can experiment with this recipe and lay the stroganoff mix over riced cauliflower or veggie noodles.

This dish has so much versatility that it ranks as one of the top keto dinner recipes.

If you’re curious about What to Serve with Beef Stroganoff, we recommend some mashed cauliflower with a little bit of salt, butter, and pepper.

15. Easy Keto Baked Italian Sausage

If you’re looking for a Keto-friendly side dish for your veggie pasta, look no further.

The secret ingredient in this dish is the main star: the Italian sausage. However, the great thing about it is that you can use any kind of sausage you like, including mild, turkey, or spicy.

Feel free to experiment with your preferred flavors to make this dish your own. If you don’t have parmesan cheese to cover the sausage with, try using mozzarella cheese instead.

16. Low Carb Jambalaya Recipe

You don’t have to go to New Orleans to bring the flavors of NOLA home with you. Jambalaya is a traditional New Orleans dish that is packed with flavor.

The best thing about this dish is that it’s super versatile, meaning you can add crawfish, shrimp, or meat to it and get the same result.

This recipe calls for olive oil, but if you are looking for a healthier alternative, you can use avocado oil instead.

The secret ingredient in this dish is cajun seasoning because how can you have a Cajun-inspired dish without some of that famous flavor?

This one ranks as one of our favorite keto dinner ideas. If you’re wondering What to Serve with Jambalaya, why not add a green side salad or corn on the cob?

17. Keto Low-Carb Cheeseburger Soup

I know what you’re thinking: cheeseburger? As a soup? And while it might not be the first thing you think of when it comes to that tasty cheeseburger flavor, this recipe will quickly change your mind.

While this recipe calls for ground beef, you can use ground turkey or even Italian sausage instead.

18. Creamy Keto Burgers with Mushroom Sauce – Low Carb Skillet Dinner

Instead of topping off your burgers in cheese, ketchup, or mustard, why not swap them out for some savory mushrooms?

The secret ingredient is the can of mushroom soup, which gives this dish the creaminess it needs and the bold flavor. This recipe reminds us of Salisbury steak, only a little healthier.

If you don’t have mushroom soup, you can swap it out for chopped mushrooms and a little bit of swiss cheese instead.

You can also customize this meal by adding in a little beef broth to change the consistency of the cream.

19. Creamy Cilantro Lime Chicken?

Do you love cilantro? Me too, which is why we recommend this tasty recipe.

The secret ingredient here is the lime juice, which adds a bit of sourness to this dish that combines perfectly with cilantro.

If you don’t have lime juice, you can add a little white wine vinegar or lemon zest instead — be sure to add those ingredients sparingly.

While the chicken is the main star of this dish, you can use this sound recipe for ground beef or pulled pork instead, as those are two commonly used ingredients in Mexican dishes that feature cilantro and lime.
