Once you’re on a keto diet and got a crockpot, get cooking. These crockpot meals will keep you in ketosis for good.

A slow cooker is possible one of the best kitchen inventions out there. It gives an opportunity to an even absolute noob to make something delicious.

Using a crockpot can help you save time and cook something fast and easy for dinner. It’s great if you regularly prepare your meals for the upcoming days.

1. Crock Pot Chicken Wings

The recipe suggests making your own buffalo sauce. However, that can be time-consuming. I recommend this sugar-free buffalo sauce instead.

Also, the recipe recommends using a little bit of brown sugar. Since we’re on the keto diet, you should either completely skip or use a granulated sweetener. This is the one I recommend.

Research shows that erythritol is one of the healthiest sweeteners out there.

For the fans of cheese, I recommend this lovely slow cooker casserole. It’s a perfect dinner option for the evening when you don’t feel like eating meat.

If you want the recipe to truly be flavorful, use fresh broccoli, because frozen ones just don’t taste the same. If you’re looking for something a little different, this keto broccoli casserole is perfect.

If you like a milder curry, you can make it less spicy too. What I love about this recipe is that it comes with a lot of veggies. Broccoli, carrots, and sweet peppers!

However, if you want to cut net carbs, even more, it might make sense to not use one of the vegetables. Or eat the curry without cauliflower rice. To get ideas, you can check these keto substitutes!

This chili is very to make since the slow cooker does most of the job. The only thing you’ll need to take care of is cauliflower rice.

The recipe is made out of chicken and it contains mushrooms. So, if you‘re a big fan of them and it‘s the season, why not try the recipe.

I had to include a pork steak recipe because slow cookers can really make pork taste amazing.

Not something you can achieve just by regularly cooking it. So, definitely try recipes with pork when it comes to using a slow cooker. The recipe suggests using this pork rub. However, feel free to improvise.
