These cheeseburger zucchini boats are our favorite keto ground beef recipe! It's the perfect easy weeknight summer meal at roughly 4.5 net carbs per serving.
Ingredients
- 3 medium size zucchini, halved and cored
- 1 pound ground beef, may also use turkey
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 3 ounces cream cheese
- 1/2 cup beef broth, or chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- In a medium size skillet over medium heat, brown meat and and drain off any grease.
- Add tomato paste, mustard, cream cheese, broth and spices. Stir well and let mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the cream cheese has melted and the mixture thickens.
- Meanwhile, slice zucchini lengthwise and scoop out the center. (I find this easiest with a metal teaspoon)
- Place zucchini boats on a large baking sheet and carefully spoon the cheeseburger mixture into the zucchini.
- Top with cheese and bake 20-24 minutes until the zucchini is fork tender.
Notes
- Cheese: Use Pepper Jack cheese for a spicy version!
- Nutrition: Values are calculated for 3 FULL zucchini, but we hollow out the inside. This likely means the true carb and fiber count is a bit overstated in the values below.
