When you hear about the keto diet, what’s the first thing that comes to mind?

Lots of butter?

Adding pork fat to every meal?

Well, keto diets aren’t supposed to be an excuse to eat a ton of fried, fatty food. I was surprised to learn that I can make it into a nutritive lifestyle with healthy weeknight dinner ideas for families!

Going keto means consuming more healthy fat and protein, helping the family feel fuller for longer while getting the necessary nourishment.

Here are weeknight keto dinners that are both easy to make and healthy to eat.

Make sure to pin this image to your favorite Pinterest board so you can come back for updates on these easy weeknight keto dinners!

 

1. Ground Beef Casserole

Beefy and cheesy, what’s not to love?

Low-carb casserole recipe ideas like ground beef casserole leave me drooling from meaty goodness; you won’t be missing the rice at all!

I like thinking of ground beef casseroles as a naked burger, without the patty shape, of course!

 

2. Keto Egg Muffins

Going meatless? You can still make healthy vegetarian recipes keto-friendly without meat!

Low-carb breakfast egg muffins are the prime example. It’s such a simple yet tasty dish, filled with protein to start your day with all the energy you need.

I prepare an entire batch to have after my morning workouts!

 

3. Keto Crack Chicken

Do NOT leave keto crack chicken unattended when I’m around. You’ll just end up finding me licking my lips after devouring an entire pot!

I’m telling you now; it’s one of the most addicting chicken Crockpot recipes you can make for your family.

 

4. Tabbouleh Quinoa Salad

Quinoa is considered a superfood as it’s packed with fiber and antioxidants that help with weight loss. It does contain carbs, but not as much as white rice!

Tabbouleh quinoa salad will have you do a double-take because of its vibrant flavors. Just lessen the quinoa to meet your carb requirements!

 

5. Breakfast Kale Salad

Kale sounds gross on its own, but when you add bacon and eggs to it… Hmm, now you’re talking!

Here’s a healthier way to incorporate bacon into your low-carb weeknight dinners, because let’s face it. Almost everything is better with bacon, even a kale salad.

 

6. Low-Carb Keto Turkey

Thanksgiving already? Nah, you don’t need a whole celebration just to prepare a turkey for your family!

If you’re feeling the festive spirit on a random weeknight, treat yourself to a mouthwatering turkey with low-carb stuffing!

 

7. Crustless Keto Spinach Pie

Craving a savory pie?

Here’s one you can indulge in without the carbs, making it worth adding to your list of easy healthy keto dinners.

I can feel my exhaustion from work fade away as I take a bite of cheesy spinach pie that just came straight out of the oven!

 

8. Keto Pasta

I’m debunking the myth that keto dieters will have to give up pasta!

There’s no need to sacrifice the love of your stomach when keto pasta noodles like these make easy keto weeknight dinners.

Not only are these pasta noodles keto-friendly. They also have high fiber content thanks to the oat fiber!

 

9. Low-Carb Cauliflower Fried Rice

Quick easy keto meals never looked this good!

I wouldn’t have known the yang chow copycat was made with cauliflower until I looked closely.

Cauliflower rice doesn’t need to look so plain, especially with the presence of Asian-inspired seasonings to add more umami.

 

10. Taco Lettuce Wraps

Taco Tuesdays made keto?

Absolutely! Lettuce saves the day, acting as a low-carb taco shell with added nutrition.

Now, you’ve got a valid excuse to overload your tacos with more saucy meat than veggies!

 

11. Keto Beef Stir-Fry

Whoops, let me go cancel my Panda Express order real quick because I just found an amazing beef stir-fry recipe that trumps any Chinese takeout I’ve had!

Tender beef coated with a rich sauce?

You know I can’t say no to that with cauliflower rice!

 

12. Keto Salmon

So simple yet donning restaurant-worthy flavors, this keto-friendly salmon recipe proves that you won’t need to dine out just to enjoy a nice dinner.

If you feel the fatty salmon and butter may taste a bit too oily, the acidity from your lemon juice will cut through it like a knife!

 

13. Low-Carb Bell Pepper Sandwich

Just when I thought I’ve seen it all when it comes to cooking, the keto world never fails to shock me with smart substitutions.

Whoever thought of using bell peppers as bread was on to something.

While it might seem off, don’t knock it ‘til you try it! The overload of cream cheese will definitely help make it even tastier.

 

14. Keto Shrimp Scampi

This is one shrimp recipe Bubba Blue himself will be proud of!

Shrimp scampi is a perfect appetizer or main course for American Italian-themed dinners.

Feast on all that buttered shrimp, which goes perfectly over keto noodles!

 

15. Low-Carb Chicken Parmesan

I actually enjoy work a lot more now that I have keto-friendly dinners like chicken parmigiana to look forward to making once I get home.

One bite of juicy chicken and I forget all my troubles, especially when pairing it with a glass of wine.

 

16. Keto Chicken Adobo

Filipino cuisine’s taking the world by storm and it’s caught my heart!

Chicken adobo is one of the most popular comfort dishes that’s easy to make keto-friendly.

It’s so good that you might even forget it needs rice as you go straight for seconds!

 

17. Steak and Eggs

It would be a huge mi-steak to talk about keto-friendly meals without sharing my favorite steak recipe.

While everyone’s hankering for bacon and eggs for breakfast, I’m out here enjoying my steak and eggs without guilt!

 

18. Peanut Butter Keto Low Carb Smoothie

Need a lighter dinner that satisfies your tummy and sweet tooth?

You’re going to love this incredibly thick peanut butter smoothie that tastes almost like Reese’s cups!

It may taste like a whole lot of sugar in a glass, but you’ll be shocked by how healthy it actually is.

 

19. Pork Chops with Creamy Garlic Mushroom Sauce

You couldn’t have prepared me for how delicious tender pork chops would be when covered in mushroom sauce.

It took away every bad memory of dry pan-fried pork chops I’ve had!

Because it’s so creamy, I recommend pairing it with sides like cauliflower rice or keto bread to absorb the sauces.

 

20. Keto Burrito Bowl

How do you like your steak?

Don’t worry, I’m not going to arrest you if it’s anything other than medium rare.

No matter how rare or cooked you like your steak, these burrito bowls will always be scrumptious. Bye, Chipotle!
