Crustless Low Carb Taco Pie

This Crustless Low Carb Taco Pie is so good, you won’t miss the carbs. It’s from Carolyn Ketchum’s new book, Everyday Ketogenic Kitchen. Although I don’t follow a ketogenic diet, I loved this dish. Crustless low carb taco pie is an easy, tasty, and satisfying main course.

Now, if you’re anything like me, the word “ketogenic” is not in your everyday vocabulary. Simply put, ketogenic or keto means low-carb, high-fat, with adequate protein. Carolyn follows a keto diet because she has diabetes. But she makes a convincing case that her diet is a healthy one for many other reasons.

I don’t have diabetes and don’t plan to go on a keto diet anytime soon. So why am I writing about Carolyn, her book, and this recipe? (Carolyn’s publisher sent me a copy of the book without charge, but the content of this post is entirely mine.) I was curious about the book for two reasons. First, because I’ve admired Carolyn for a long time. Second, my maternal grandmother had diabetes and my internist told me that I have pre-diabetic tendencies. (My mom also has pre-diabetic tendencies.) Although I’m hopeful that I won’t develop diabetes, I wanted to see how I could manage to enjoy food if I ever do become diabetic.
