Gourmet Keto Low Carb_Mac_ and Cheese Recipe

My daughters love mac and cheese. I mean, what kids don’t? But low carb/keto has been a big part of our lives for about a year now, and sometimes I am just too tired or busy to make two meals. So when my girls ask for mac and cheese now, this is my go to recipe.

It took me a long time to find one that the whole family loves. I finally found a decent recipe, and then had to tweak it just a bit to make it ours. Here is our go to keto mac and cheese – that takes less than 10 minutes to make!

This is my FAVORITE keto mac and cheese recipe! Even my daughter who lives on mac and cheese eats it and has no clue it isn’t pasta. She even asks for it by name. My favorite part about it is how easy it is to make! Of course, if you don’t have bacon bits or tomatoes, you can go without those and it will be just as delicious. Or add something else in for fun (my mom loves to add chopped up ham!).
