Keto Ground Beef and Zucchini Skillet Recipe

Looking for a hearty skillet meal in just a few minutes?! This Keto ground beef and zucchini skillet recipe is loaded with ground beef, zucchini and keto friendly beans. This comfort food is perfect for meal prep or just a quick weekday dinner!

These are my favorite types of meals...easy, nothing fancy, delicious, and healthy.  I am loving these Eden black soy beans!  They are so delicious, full of fiber, and now I can eat beans again!  I find them on Amazon.

How to make this easy keto ground beef skillet recipe

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, combine the ground beef, salt and pepper. Cook and crumble the ground beef until it is cooked through. Remove any excess grease from the pan.
  • Stir in the green bell pepper and zucchini. Reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook for 10 minutes more, until the zucchini is fork tender.
  • Stir in the black soy beans and tomato paste. Let cook for 5 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.
  • Top with shredded cheese if desired!

Are black beans keto friendly?

Traditional black beans are not keto friendly but these black soy beans are!  1 cup of the fiber filled beans are all you need for this keto ground beef recipe.  They come packed in kombu seaweed which is like a jelly so make sure you rinse them really well before adding them to your skillet.

    I cooked this with double-zucchini and froze in individual servings. Tomorrow will be my third time to have it for lunch, and it’s perfectly satisfying and filling. Full of flavor! Thank you!

    I added diced onion when cooking the ground meat and minced garlic once the meat was browned.
