Carnivore Mac and Cheese Recipe
This Carnivore Mac and Cheese is a creamy, indulgent twist on a classic comfort food, made entirely with animal-based ingredients. Instead of traditional pasta, we’ll use ground meat as the base and rich, melted cheese for that classic “cheesy” flavor. Perfect for those following a carnivore diet!
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend for richness)
- 1 cup heavy cream (full-fat, preferably grass-fed)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese like Gouda or Parmesan)
- 1 tbsp butter (for extra richness)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra depth)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt (to taste)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper (optional, can be omitted for stricter carnivores)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional, for flavor)
Instructions:
- Cook the Ground Beef:
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat. Break it up with a spatula as it cooks, and season with sea salt and black pepper (if using). Cook until browned and fully cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Drain any excess fat if necessary, then set the beef aside.
- Make the Cheese Sauce:
- In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp butter and 1 cup of heavy cream. Heat over medium-low, stirring until the cream is warmed through.
- Gradually add the cheddar cheese, stirring constantly until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is creamy. If you’re using Parmesan cheese, stir it in at this point for extra flavor.
- Add garlic powder (if using) and adjust salt to taste.
- Combine Meat and Cheese Sauce:
- Add the cooked ground beef back into the skillet with the cheese sauce. Stir until the beef is fully coated with the creamy cheese mixture.
- Serve:
- Serve immediately while hot. This Carnivore Mac and Cheese is rich, creamy, and packed with savory flavor, making for a perfect meal or snack.
Tips:
- For added richness, you can top with a dollop of butter before serving.
- This recipe can be customized with other cheeses or meats if desired.
This Carnivore Mac and Cheese is an incredibly filling and satisfying dish that’s 100% carnivore-friendly—no carbs, just pure meat and cheese! Enjoy!
