Introduction
Finding the right side dish or starter when you are on Keto is a difficult task, especially if you dont want to cook at all hours of the day. When you are looking for a side that fits the Keto requirements, tastes great and is easily made in bulk, give one of these amazing recipes a try. A higher fat diet that is rich in protein should keep you full throughout the day, but if you can supplement with some filling side dishes, then your rate of success will be much higher. I like to make a few sides at the same time and freeze them so I have a full menu made for the week. While I love being on Keto, I do not want to cook for the diet constantly!
1.Keto Stuffed Mushrooms
These stuffed mushrooms melt in your mouth with the first bite! I like to make these as an appetizer as well as a side dish.

Remove stems from the mushrooms and reserve. Saut whole mushrooms in the bacon drippings and add butter to the pan if needed. Transfer sauted mushrooms to baking dish with the hollow part facing up..
Finely chop mushroom stems and mix well with crumbled bacon in a large bowl. Add the rest of the Ingredients and stir until well combined.
Evenly divide bacon filling between each mushroom in the baking dish and bake for 20 minutes until golden brown
