GROUND BEEF EMPANADAS (KETO, LOW CARB)

How to Make Empanadas: These Ground Beef Empanadas are made with a ketogenic and low carb fathead dough then filled with flavorful ground beef.

The weather out here has been very confusing. It’s hot, it’s cold, it’s really hot, then it’s cold again. We’re not having a real winter, even by California standards, but the sunny days are broken up by bouts of chilliness. I’ve actually been enjoying the colder weather though. There’s something about a nice fire roaring in the fireplace, my comfy leather couch and a good blanket that will just warm your soul.

Speaking of warming your soul, these Ground Beef Empanadas are definitely one of my favorite keto recipes. It’s really easy to make and so delicious plus super versatile because you can make all different kinds of flavor combinations.
