Can I Use a Different Meat?

We have used ground pork for our quick and easy Keto dinner recipe. Ground pork is a great budget-friendly Keto option, loaded with fats and flavor. If you would like to use a different meat you could swap for ground turkey or ground chicken thigh. Using ground thigh will provide more fats and flavor to your dish and prevent the meat from drying out. Please be sure to adjust your cooking times as needed for different meats.

Can I Use a Different Cheese?

We have used grated cheddar cheese for our simple Keto pork recipe. If preferred, you may swap this for an alternative shredded cheese. Monterey Jack would make a good replacement, or for extra oozy-ness, you could use grated mozzarella or a combination of cheeses. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the recipe.

Ingredients

7 ounce ground pork
1 ¾ cup cabbage
2 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 clove garlic
½ small white onion
½ cup grated cheddar cheese
¼ teaspoon salt, sea salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Melt the butter in a large skillet over a medium heat. Thinly slice the cabbage and the onion. Peel the garlic and thinly slice. Add the cabbage, onion and garlic to the skillet. Pan fry for 3-4 minutes to soften, stirring often.
Add the ground pork to the skillet and season everything with salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Pan fry until the pork is browned all over. Stir often, breaking the ground pork up as you go. You may add more salt and pepper as desired.
Scatter the grated cheese over the top of the pork and cabbage. Stir well and pan fry for a few minutes more. The pork should be entirely cooked through, the cabbage tender and the cheese melted. Serve hot.
