I made it to serve Family Style. So, here goes.... My  Instant Pot Crack Chicken - Ingredients: 2 lbs chicken ( I used chicken breast but you could do thighs or even skip the instant pot and make your shredded chicken from a rotisserie or however you please) 1 Tbsp Ranch seasoning ( I use Penzey's buttermilk ranch  ) - it does have a tad sugar in it but its so little and spread out over many serving... 1 cup water seasoning salt 8 oz cream cheese 1.

Sometimes things just come together. Some days you just KILL it in the Kitchen. I don't feel like that happens all that often for me, but today I was just feeling myself ya'll. LOL! So I furiously copied down the ingredients and amounts used so that I could recreate this meal again and again. If anyone tries it let me know what you think! Thai Meatballs over Zoodles with Thai Peanut Sauce Ingredients for Meatballs 2 lbs ground beef (80/20) 2.5 Tbsp Thai curry spice seasoning Mix together thoroughly and then form into smallish meatballs. Brown on all sides in 1 Tbsp of cooking oil ( I used avocado oil) and then place on simmer with a lid for a few minutes to cook through. Make sauce while it simmers.

Ok, so peppers, onions, and tomatoes are not the lowest carb count. I Know! I KNOW!  I think I actually stay under 10 carbs- but it is so hard to count it out exactly in this meal. I make this for my family who are not keto, so its easy to just take the parts that fit for me and serve the rest to my family with pasta. My advise is to make sure you buy sausage and marinara with the lowest carb count possible. This way you can eat as much sausage as you desire, and just a bit of the rest for flavoring. When you cook this in the Instant Pot you infuse the sausage with all the flavors- so you can enjoy this meal and not really even do much sauce. Serve it with a big green salad with a no carb dressing and you are golden!   Instant Pot Sausage and Peppers 2 onions 3 bell peppers, any colors 2 pounds Italian sausage links- I use Hot but any kind you like 1 tsp garlic powder 1 jar no sugar added marinara ( I like trader joes brand) -----my recommendation is to make sure...

If you want to make this even faster you could easily make up a ton of meatballs and freeze for even faster assembly!
