I LOVE LOVE this Keto Pizza Bake! It is so wonderful to have a delicious meal with NO GUILT and this recipe is PURE YUMMINESS! This recipe yields 8 servings with only 2 net carbs per serving. Plus, if you want even less carbs than that you can cut the bell peppers and onion amounts in half and have 1 net carb per serving.
This recipe can be taken and added to the top of any keto pizza crust which would be so yummy also! I love baking keto pizzas, but sometimes I may not have the time to make the keto crust, so I can make this Keto Pizza Bake instead and have leftovers to add to a pizza or to meal prep.
Meal prepping is so easy with this recipe. After baking the pizza bake just let it cool and divide up into 8 servings and freeze. What a great lunch this would be or a quick dinner idea!
But, before we talk about this recipe, let’s learn more about the keto diet, because it is much more than eating a lot of BACON, LOL!
What is the Keto Diet?
The ketogenic diet focuses on high fat, low carb foods like eggs, meats, dairy, and low carb vegetables. Also, it consists of food that are sugar free and gluten free. A lot of individuals believe it is just a lot of protein, like a lot of bacon, but it is more than just eating a lot of bacon. It is limiting carb consumption to around 20 to 50 grams per day and filling up on fats, such as meat, fish, eggs, nuts, and healthy oils.
