Keto Ground Beef and Cheese Bake (Chipa So'o Inspired Filling)
Yes, with a tweak: the traditional corn/mandioca dough must be completely omitted. About 7g net carbs per serving.
What it is
This dish takes the delicious, savory filling of the traditional Paraguayan Chipa So'o (a meat-filled corn bread) and presents it as a standalone keto meal. Seasoned ground beef (or pork) is mixed with sautéed onions, bell peppers, hard-boiled eggs, and olives, then baked or simmered in a rich, creamy sauce and often topped with a generous layer of melted cheese. The traditional starchy dough is entirely omitted.
Key ingredients
Ground beef (or mixed beef/pork), onions, bell peppers, garlic, hard-boiled eggs, green olives, heavy cream, mozzarella/Paraguay cheese, olive oil, spices (cumin, paprika), salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
The traditional corn/mandioca dough must be completely omitted. Ensure no sugary sauces or high-carb fillers are added to the ground meat mixture. Request extra cheese and cream.
Watch out for
The traditional dish is fundamentally a high-carb bread. Hidden sugars in meat seasonings or tomato sauces. High-carb vegetables could be added to the filling.
