Keto Appetizers

With our very similar recipe, just swapping mushrooms for Zucchini Bites, one would be astonished how both will be a star to shine on your low carb appetizer party table. And if you add Spinach Salmon Roulade together with Roasted Beet Spread, bacon wrapped Brussels sprouts and Avocado Dip, your Rainbow-looking Keto Party Table will be the winner of all. 

Keto Grilling Time

Or let us say, you are finally ready to start grilling again. 

Prepare those Ragu Stuffed Mushrooms the day in advance and your Meal Planning will be done. 

On the day, all you have to do is place those delicious ground beef stuffed mushrooms packed with bolognese sauce onto the grill and your party can start. 

As we are right by the mushrooms, add Juicy and Guilt-Free Portobello Mushroom Keto Burger to your menu for the day. 

Stop. I am sure that is more than enough to impress everyone. 

And nobody will believe all of this food is Keto. 

Am I right?

Keto Bolognese Sauce

As I have made Bolognese sauce for the first time, I immediately got hooked. 

This was a sauce I could not keep for myself only. Have to share it with all of you.  Plus all the details and ideas to what everything you can use it for.

And there our Stuffed Zucchini Bites came in together with Spaghetti bolognese. 

But that is not the end. Following comes Stuffed Tomatoes, Stuffed Bell Peppers, aubergine, and any veggies you can think of. 

Keto Meal Plan

All of those recipes are a perfect idea for your meal planning. All you have to do is cook a big batch of the bolognese sauce and fill all the veggies you can think of. Store it in your fridge or a freezer and you have a meal for the next 2 weeks.

Are Mushrooms Keto Friendly?

Mushrooms are one vegetable, that is not only a perfect addition to the keto lifestyle but is extremely healthy, low in calories and fat, and of course, containing minimal carbs. 
With even this tiny amount of carbs, half of it is fiber.
And now you know why they should be a part of your daily diet.

How many carbs are in Stuffed Mushrooms?

As I have used for our recipe half of the bolognese sauce, together with 20 pieces of mushrooms, you get for one stuffed mushroom 2 grams of total carbs. 
And if you deduct that 1 g of fiber one bite gets you to 1 gram of net carbohydrates in mushroom. 

Isn’t that awesome?

What else can you stuff mushrooms with? 

As you have probably decided by now, that it would not be a bad idea to have those great vegetables in your freezer at all times, you might start to think of different variations.

I will give you just a few Stuffed Mushrooms Inspirations: 

  • Sausage stuffed
  • Bacon stuffed
  • Crabmeat with cheese
  • Cream cheese mixture
  • Vegetarian with various veggies blend together
  • Garlic and cheese stuffing

Enough of talking or writing.

Let us go to the nitty-gritty part of describing the best ways to make those delicious keto stuffed mushroom appetizer bites.

If you can manage to make bolognese sauce the night before, the best. Overnight, the flavors of the sauce combine, and the whole sauce thickens fully, which is the best for filling your veggies.

Fourth Step: Clean and Chop Mushroom Stems

Fully wash or clean your mushrooms. 

To avoid mushrooms becoming soggy, towel-dry them before stuffing. 

Take out all of the stems. You can add chopped mushroom stems into your mixture as this will still bake together in the oven.

At the same time Preheat your oven to 200C or 400F.

Fifth Step: Stuff Your Mushrooms

Place your Mushrooms Cups either onto the casserole or a baking sheet.

Stuff each mushroom with your bolognese sauce mixture and top up each of the mushrooms with grated cheese.

Tips and Tricks

Avoid sogginess – Towel dry mushrooms after washing otherwise they might become soggy

Stems – do not throw stems from mushrooms. Cut them up and add them into the filling.

Reheat – do not microwave if you need reheating. It will get the mushrooms soggy. Better place them into the oven for a few minutes. 

Size – Try to pick the same size mushrooms to have them cooked all at the same time.

Instead of an oven, you can make stuffed mushrooms in the Air Fryer as well. Place them into the Air Fryer Basket and cook for 8 minutes on 200C or 400F.

You can certainly freeze them. Once you are ready to use the stuffed mushrooms, it is best to take them out of the freezer the night before and let them thaw naturally.
