How to make it keto
Request that no breadcrumbs, soaked bread, or flour be used as fillers or binders in the meat mixture. If a sauce is offered, ask for a simple cream or sour cream-based sauce with no thickeners or added sugar. Serve with a side of steamed green vegetables (e.g., broccoli, spinach) or a plain garden salad.
