Turn everything you love about crab rangoons into a cheesy, satisfying dish. Keto crab rangoon casserole is perfect for lunch.
Are Crab Rangoons Keto
No, the crab rangoons you can order from a Chinese restaurant are not ket0-friendly. They have a flour-based wonton wrapper and then they are deep-fried. As delicious as they are, they just don’t fit in with a low-carb lifestyle.
But I still love how they taste. So, I made a keto-friendly casserole that I can serve my entire family. The result is just as tasty as the deep-fried kind, but so much healthier and better for you.
Keto Crab Rangoon
Every single ingredient you add for this casserole will enhance the overall taste of this delicious dish. You can use canned crab, but fresh will taste so much better!
This is a dairy-heavy recipe. If you’re lactose intolerant, this might not work so great for you, because there isn’t a good way to replace the cream cheese. Cream cheese is what makes typical crab rangoons so good too, so I had to replicate it as closely as possible.
Keto Crab Casserole
Use this keto crab casserole throughout the week in your meal prep. The noodles and creamy crab sauce are perfect for lunch. All that healthy fat will keep you full until dinner time.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. The cream cheese mixture will solidify in the fridge. That’s ok, it will melt as soon as you heat it back up.
If you’re going to store it in your meal prep, I suggest adding some to your meal prep container without pork rinds on top. Then, add them to your casserole right before you eat.
If you keep it in the fridge with the pork rinds, they will soften and lose their crunchy deliciousness.
Cheesy Crab Casserole
Crab is a wonderfully light and filling meat. It’s perfect for anyone that wants something different from chicken and beef recipes.
If you have more crab to use, make some Keto Crab Cakes. They have the perfect crispiness on the outside and hot and soft filling inside. They taste just like the kind you get at a restaurant.
Keto Chinese Recipe
Make a Chinese-inspired dinner for yourself and your family. There are so many amazing and tasty recipes you can make, and all of them are low in carbs!
Start out with this crab rangoon casserole and then make keto Chinese boneless spare ribs as the entree. They are tender and bursting with flavors. On the side, make some low-carb veggie egg fried rice with bacon.
Make keto honey walnut shrimp for a sticky-sweet entre if you’re in the mood for seafood. Then add some keto Asian chicken chopped salad to the table as the side dish.
