How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure the ground beef filling contains no rice, potatoes, or raisins. Request minimal tomato paste to keep carb count low. Ask for no breadcrumbs if traditionally used for binding.
Watch out for
Rice or potatoes in the stuffing, excessive tomato paste, or hidden sugars in seasoning mixes.
