A collection of easy, low-carb keto crock pot recipes perfect for busy days, offering comforting, flavorful meals with minimal prep and slow cooking.

Ingredients

  • Boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • Ground beef or Italian sausage
  • Pork shoulder or tenderloin
  • Bacon
  • Cauliflower
  • Broccoli florets
  • Spinach or kale
  • Bell peppers
  • Onions
  • Cream cheese
  • Heavy cream
  • Butter
  • Shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
  • Chicken broth or bone broth
  • Low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • Garlic
  • Fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary, parsley)
  • Spices (smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder)

Instructions

  1. Trim excess fat from chicken thighs or pork. Optionally brown ground meat in a skillet to lock in flavor before adding to the crock pot.
  2. Dice onions, mince garlic, and chop bell peppers or broccoli into chunks.
  3. In a bowl, combine cream cheese, heavy cream, broth, and seasonings. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Place meat at the bottom of the crock pot, top with vegetables, then pour the sauce over everything. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Cook on low heat for 4-6 hours without lifting the lid.
  6. About 30 minutes before serving, stir in fresh spinach or kale and sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Cover and let cheese melt.
  7. Serve hot with cauliflower rice or steamed greens.

Notes

Browning meat before slow cooking adds depth of flavor. Avoid overfilling the crock pot (no more than two-thirds full). Stirring too often can make the dish mushy. Add fresh herbs at the end to brighten flavors. Use xanthan gum slurry to thicken sauce if needed. Recipes can be adapted for pressure cookers with reduced cooking times.
