Keto BBQ Macaroni
Give your mac and cheese a little twist with a hint of barbecue sauce! The vinegar and peppery flavors in barbecue sauce match well with a cheesy mound of shirataki elbow noodles. You can make this recipe in under 20 minutes! It’s great for making in bulk for meal prepping or whenever you’re in a pinch for time. Even kids will like this macaroni, even with the shirataki noodles. If you can’t find elbow noodles, you can use any style of shirataki noodle you can get your hands on. All shirataki noodles share the same macros, but wide and fat noodles will be best for holding onto all the yellow-gold goodness. For your barbecue sauce, choose a standard flavor, and avoid any flavors that imply sweetness. There are many ways you can incorporate this mac and cheese recipe into a larger Keto meal. Make your pasta personal by mixing in a variety of chopped proteins, veggies, or other toppings that are Keto-friendly. You can leave the pasta plain and use it as a side dish with one of Carb Manager’s many Keto chicken drumstick recipes. Use this recipe in your meal prepping, and portion it into meal prep containers to store in your refrigerator for up to 5 days. If your sauce separated while cooking, this means you cooked it too hot. To make sure your sauce stays together, always cook over low heat settings. If you sauce still breaks, add a cold dairy product to the sauce in small spoonfuls: heavy cream or whole milk. Slowly stir your sauce over low heat until it comes back together. Jessica L.
