This 30-minute meal is filling, gluten-free, and extremely satisfying! Plus, you can add rice or pasta for anyone not on keto.
Sausage Skillet
Very few recipes are as easy and effortless as a creamy sausage skillet. My family loved my Creamy Keto Tuscan sausage skillet recipe a lot, but they weren’t a fan of the roasted red peppers.
So, I reworked it a little bit and created this recipe! Instead of red peppers, I used fresh cherry tomatoes. I also added fresh basil to kick up the aroma and grated parmesan cheese to give it a richer flavor.
Try both recipes and see what you think! This creamy sausage skillet recipe has a classic Italian taste and a rich broth. You’re going to love it!
Sausage and Spinach
Using fresh spinach gives this recipe both pops of color and a boost of nutrition. Spinach is high in fiber, antioxidants, iron, and a great source of vitamin C, too.
I love to make a lot of recipes with spinach in the winter months, just when my family needs that immune system boost. Trust me, use fresh ingredients as much as possible.
Fresh basil has a lot more flavor and aroma than dried basil. And fresh garlic is a lot more pungent than dried powder or jarred minced garlic.
Easy Sausage Recipe
This is the perfect meal for busy weeknights. All you do is chop everything up and cook it in the skillet. Dinner is so easy and so fast!
While on the keto diet, I would serve this with cauliflower rice or palmini noodles. If you have family members that aren’t eating keto, you can add this creamy recipe on top of regular pasta or rice.
Or serve it like it is! This is a very filling recipe.
What To Eat With Smoked Sausage
Creamy sausage skillet is a filling entree and you don’t need much on the side. Make some keto-loaded ranch roasted cauliflower.
It will make your dinner a lot tastier and more filling. After that, you can either make bacon-wrapped asparagus on the side or keto potato salad with cauliflower.
Definitely make some keto garlic knots to go with the veggies! There are 5 grams net carbs in each serving of creamy sausage skillet, but that’s enough carbs left over to enjoy a keto garlic knot or two.
Smoked Sausage Meal Prep
Use this recipe to prepare for your lunches this week! It’s a wonderful meal prep recipe because the sausage will stay fresh and delicious for days.
Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
