Life? What is it? It is one hard journey. You live, you learn, you screw up, you learn. I don't know if anyone will actually see and really look at my little old school blog but I enjoy sharing. My mind squirrels at times so I love to just post random stuff that I like. I hope that something I post touches you or helps you in some way. We are in this road called "Life" together :-) Let's help one another and practice some kindness along the way! #justagirlwithadogandablog

Easy Keto Friendly Big Mac Sliders Recipe Idea
Ingredients For Easy Keto Friendly Big Mac Sliders Recipe Idea
Big Mac Sauce:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon keto ketchup store-bought or make your own
- 2 tablespoon dill relish
- 1 teaspoon dried minced onion rehydrated, or use 1 tablespoon fresh minced white onion
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Granular Swerve
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ pound ground beef formed into 4 thin patties, see Notes
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- 4 keto sesame seed buns 2 tops, 4 bottoms; see Notes
- butter as needed
- shredded lettuce
- dill pickles
- 4 slices American cheese
- Combine all ingredients in bowl and whisk until fully incorporated. Refrigerate sauce until ready to assemble burgers.
- Season burger patties on all sides with salt and pepper. Heat one large skillet over medium-high heat, then fry patties until cooked through, flipping as needed.
- While patties fry, butter insides of bun tops and bottoms. Heat second large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add bun tops and bottoms buttered-side down and toast them, like you would a grilled cheese. Set buns aside until ready to assemble burgers.
- Once patties are cooked through, spread keto Big Mac sauce on buttered & toasted sides of all buns. Assemble burgers in the following order: bottom bun, sauce, onions, pickles, lettuce, burger patty, cheese, bottom bun, sauce, onions, pickles, lettuce, burger patty, cheese, top bun. Serve warm.
Burger Patties: Form ground beef into 4 thin patties, or use 4 pre-made ¼-pound burger patties (we do this a lot to save time). If you’re forming the burger patties yourself, incorporate the salt and pepper into the meat before flattening it into a patty. That way it’s seasoned throughout, rather than just on the top and bottom. If you’re using frozen burger patties, let them heat up in the pan a little before you season them; that way the salt and pepper actually sticks!
- Keto Sesame Seed Buns: Make your own or use store-bought keto buns like these from Wholesome Provisions. The nutrition information shown was calculated using Wholesome Provisions’ buns. You could also use chaffles instead of buns. Want to save a bun? You need 4 bottom buns + 2 top buns total for your burgers. If you take 3 bottom buns and 3 top buns, and cut the domed “top” off one of the top buns, you now have 4 bottom buns and 2 top buns!

Easy Keto Friendly Homemade Chicken Pot Pie Casserole Recipe Idea
Ingredients For Easy Keto Friendly Homemade Chicken Pot Pie Casserole Recipe Idea
- 4 cups cooked chicken breast (roasted, rotisserie or baked), cubed
- 2 cups chicken stock
- ⅔ cup mascarpone cheese (see notes)
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 1 cup celery, diced
- ½ onion, minced
- ⅔ cup cut green beans, frozen
- 1 batch of Drop Biscuits, use Monterey Jack instead of cheddar
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon Xanthan Gum
- salt and pepper to taste
- Heat a large skillet to medium and add in the butter and olive oil. Once the butter has melted, add in the onion, celery, carrots, salt and pepper. Sauté for 10 minutes or until fork tender.
- Then add in the chicken stock and mascarpone. Once the mascarpone has melted, stir in the green beans and chicken, then continue cooking for 5 more minutes while you preheat the oven and mix up the batch of drop biscuits. I recommend using Monterey Jack cheese in the drop biscuit dough, instead of cheddar, if possible. Stir in the ¼ teaspoon of Xanthan Gum and continue stirring till the sauce has thickened. Preheat oven to 400F.
- Pour the chicken mixture into a 9″ x 13″ baking casserole dish, that’s been sprayed with nonstick spray. Take the drop biscuit batter and dollop 8 equal servings over the top of the casserole. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the biscuits are golden.
- Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for a few days or freeze.
Notes For Easy Keto Friendly Homemade Chicken Pot Pie Casserole Recipe Idea
If you can’t find mascarpone cheese, you can substitute with cream cheese.
The carrots in this recipe have a minimal impact on the net carbs, but you can certainly omit them if you’d like.
