Recipe notes
She uses some of her basic ground beef in the recipe. This is simply a large batch of the highest fat ground beef you can find which has been browned and kept in the fridge for a few days or frozen and then used as needed to speed up preparation.
I suggest using grass-fed beef if you can get it and simply cook it for this recipe from raw. You just have to brown it which does not take long.

The recipe will yield four servings. You can store any leftover in the fridge and reheat when needed.

Shirataki noodles
As regular spaghetti is too high in carbs for a keto diet Gerri uses Shirataki noodles for this recipe. These noodles, also know as konjac or miracle noodles, are gluten free and zero carb and very filling.
They’re made from glucomannan, a type of soluble fiber that comes from the root of the konjac plant, but the noodles are mostly made up of water with about only 3% of fiber. Studies have shown that they are effective for weight loss and blood sugar control
The fiber also acts as a prebiotic which feeds the bacteria in the gut and can help with low carb constipation which is something that people new to the keto diet can suffer with.
