Can I make keto spiced ground beef and eggs ahead of time?

Yes, this recipe stores really well. You can cook the beef and spices ahead, then just reheat and add fresh eggs when you're ready to eat. Or make the whole thing and keep it in the fridge for up to 4 days. It tastes just as good the next day.

What kind of ground meat works best for keto recipes like this?

Ground beef with a higher fat content, like 80/20, is best for keto because it keeps the dish juicy and gives more flavor. But you can also use ground lamb, chicken, or turkey. Just add a little extra oil if using leaner meat.

Are there any sides that go well with this keto beef and eggs dish?

You don’t need a side, but it goes great with cauliflower rice, sautéed spinach, or even a spoon of Greek yogurt to balance the spices. It’s also good with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon for a lighter touch.
