Rocambole de Carne Moída Recheado com Queijo e Bacon
Stuffed Ground Beef Roll with Cheese and Bacon
Yes, keto as served. About 3g net carbs per serving, lower than 9 in 10 Brazilian dishes.
What it is
A Brazilian-style meatloaf roll, typically made with seasoned ground beef, flattened, filled with cheese (like mozzarella or provolone) and bacon, then rolled and baked. It's naturally low-carb and high in fat and protein.
Key ingredients
Ground beef, eggs, cheese (mozzarella, provolone), bacon, onions, garlic, spices, tomato sauce (for topping, often simple).
Optional tweaks
Ensure the ground beef mixture does not contain breadcrumbs or flour (uncommon in traditional Brazilian versions but worth asking). Request any accompanying sauce or gravy to be keto-friendly (often served with a simple tomato sauce, which should be fine if no added sugar).
Say this to the waiter (Portuguese)
A carne moída leva farinha de rosca ou farinha? Por favor, o molho que acompanha pode ser keto e sem açúcar adicionado?
Does the ground beef have breadcrumbs or flour? Please ensure any sauce served is keto-friendly and has no added sugar.
Watch out for
Breadcrumbs or flour in the meat mixture, sugary glazes or sauces (e.g., barbecue sauce) for topping, default high-carb sides.
