Mac and Cheese
Macaroni and cheese is a comfort food classic, and this Instant Pot keto variation will help to satisfy all those cravings. By using cauliflower instead of macaroni, we stay in ketosis, but still capture the familiar flavor and texture of the traditional dish. Try topping with a little ground turmeric, to pack in even more nutrition. Or, mix with a little bit of cooked lobster, to really add some decadence!
