Keto Tuna Casserole | Low Carb | Keto Family Style Recipe
Keto Tuna Casserole
This week we bring you a ketofied version of the Grand Daddy of all Casseroles the Tuna Casserole, but of course we made it Keto and Low Carb safe.
So the Tuna Casserole has been around since the 1930, and it looks like it may have originated from our neck of the woods, the Pacific Northwest. Although it quickly migrated across the country and then became really associated with the Mid-West. Casseroles became popular in the U.S. in the 1950 because they were easy to make with generally household ingredients that were easy to find and inexpensive.
I personally don’t recall having Tuna Casserole growing up in Washington D.C., but Sarah remembers it well from her childhood in Idaho.
In our version we substitute the high-carb ingredients such as potato chips for the topping, or even bread crumbs. We also left out the traditional egg noodles, and cream of mushroom or celery soups. Our version instead uses whole food ingredients from has Heavy cream, Zucchini noodles, albacore tuna packed in water, and shredded cheese.
Casseroles normally taste better has they set, and this one was no different. We probably got 8 – 10 servings from this dish and of course that depends on how big your servings are.
This is another one of those dishes that you could probably get the whole family to enjoy, and it was pretty easy to make for a week night. We hope that you enjoy it.
