Keto Bacon Macaroni & Cheese
A Keto version of Bacon Macaroni & Cheese has been a blessing to my life. Delicious side dishes like this that you always see on thanksgiving and can’t help to add them to your plate.
Living on the ketogenic diet, your keto senses would initially say two things. One “I’m going break keto and eat macaroni just for today and get back on track tomorrow.” Two “I can’t break my ketosis, so I’m just going to have to pass.” I’ve chosen both options before and more of the first option, if I’m being honest.
It doesn’t have to be like that anymore with this recipe! I found a great-tasting keto elbow pasta that is non-GMO, loaded with fiber, and only seven net carbs per serving. It’s fantastic, and I can’t stop making macaroni side dishes for every little event.
The keto elbow pasta doesn’t taste any different than regular elbow pasta. That’s great, especially if you have children who can be picky.
Usually, after eating a regular bowl of macaroni and cheese, I would feel bloated and constipated. Those days are over with this keto bacon macaroni & cheese recipe.
Be mindful of your portion control when eating keto alternative recipes. That’s a mistake I’ve in the past a few times because my recipes are that good. All jokes aside, I know you’ll love this recipe a lot.
