A pack of ground beef can turn into much more than another burger.
These keto ground beef recipes bring together cheesy bakes, seasoned tacos, a creamy soup, and vegetable-packed dinners for nights when you want something different.
Some are stovetop meals, while others need a little longer in the oven.
Choose the recipe that fits your evening, and check the ingredients and serving sizes when planning your carbs, especially tortillas, sauces, and toppings.
Keto Big Mac Smash Burgers
Crisp-edged beef patties, cheddar, pickles, and a tangy burger sauce deliver the familiar flavors without a bread bun. Serve them wrapped in lettuce or on a plate with your favorite low-carb side.
Keto Beef Tacos
Chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika season the ground beef filling. Use the recipe’s keto-friendly tortilla options, then finish with lettuce, avocado, cheese, and a squeeze of lime.

This meatloaf has a mozzarella center and a low-carb marinara topping. Parmesan and almond flour take the place of a traditional breadcrumb binder, giving you an oven-baked option when you have more time for dinner.
Keto Cheeseburger Pie
Ground beef and cheddar bake into a crustless pie with eggs and cream. Mustard, tomato paste, and smoked paprika add burger-inspired flavor; pickles make a good finishing touch.
