Me and my girlfriend are attempting a keto-style diet, but I am a terrible chef and don’t have much energy to cook generally. Previously I’d mostly eat soups and stews since I could make a huge pot, freeze some of the extra and eat it with rice, but most of the recipies I know aren’t keto friendly (or at least the one suitable for a full meal). It also doesn’t help that I’m a pretty terrible cook and my girlfriend is used to well-seasoned African cuisine.

I’m hoping to find some keto or keto-adjacent meals that can be prepared in bulk easily, and ideally (but not necessarily), frozen.

    Typically I will Instapot just the meat in large batches:

    • Beef: Carne Picada or Stew Meat
    • Pork: Shoulder/Butt
    • Chicken: Thighs

    Add a can of salsa, chipotle adobe, or seasoning if desired. I usually just keep the beef bland with maybe some soy sauce.

    Cook - refrigerate - put into ziplock bag and freeze.

    Over the week I’ll break off 100-200g portions and add to things like eggs, salads or curry dishes.

    So – while not a ready to eat meal – the dishes that I do cook daily only take 5-10 minutes with this method.
