Mac and Cheese for your [Carnivore Diet]

[@hapagirlinChristinHawaii]

My 7-year-old daughter and I made this for lunch. Instead of ground chicken, we used ground beef and used sharp white cheddar with the heavy whipping cream. Zero carbs, high fat deliciousness. Next time, we'll make the crunchy topping. Thanks for the awesome recipe.

[@scorpionattitude]

There’s carbs in cheese. Sounds delicious though!

Pork rinds for crunchiness or chicken skins.

I normally don't leave reviews but I have to for you. I want to say thank you for posting the recipe in the description. I know it may seem to other youtubers that if they do list the recipe no one would watch their videos, but that is not the case. I watch all your videos all the way through and I still read the description. In fact, you are the only carnivore recipe maker that I actually look towards for all my wonderful dinners and "deserts". I think it shows your care for your viewers and I wish that all youtubers would do this. Sometimes we don't want to watch half a video to find out we can't eat what they are "recepieing" about because they add in an ingredient that we are trying to avoid. Again, Thank you!

[@ronayetanner8769]

Yes!!! You are absolutely correct in your statement. I’ve only seen this 1 video of his, and I just made it tonight! Sooo DELISH! I wouldn’t call it mac & cheese, but it is very tasty. I added salt and pepper to the chicken egg mixture. (which you didn’t do, and I was wondering why?) And next time I will add CRUNCHY bacon bits into the recipe! And I will add more of that Chicharrón on top. I think that would be most excellent, because that crunch is a really nice mouth feel. ❤❤ and now I’m going to look up your other recipes.

Dessert, noone would eat the desert. 😁

nice comment

[@astonjscott748]

I found a great thickener for gravies and cheese sauces when carnivore is collagen powder. Works just like flour

[@CarnivorousChef]

Yep! I have an entire company where we have a product that uses collagen to thicken things. Check out www.carnivorecompanion.com

[@YouButter]

Good idea!!!

[@susankitchin325]

Wow!! Thanks for that tip ! I usually have unflavored collagen on hand!!

[@fannaffannaf]

I wonder how that would do in Fondue instead of corn starch

[@bobjohnson1633]

Just capture the collagen from your briskets and pork shoulders.

We did the recipe exactly instead of chicken we used ground Italian sausage. Super amazing 👏

[@davidbermudez7704]

I'm gonna try that thanks 😊

[@erikahead]

I made this tonight for dinner for my boyfriend and I. While we've never made it before, I just happened to watch the video couple days ago and last night when I was at the store there was ground pork on the markdown rack! I bought it and thought that would probably work just as well as ground chicken. It turned out deliciously! Oh, and because we like spicy stuff, I used the Mac's brand ghost pepper jack flavored chicharrones/pork rinds for the topping and also added some ground jalapeno powder into the cheese sauce. All-in-all, delish!! Oh, and just to make it easier, when I put water in my pot for the double boiler, I just added extra water, so once my cheese sauce was done, I took it off, added salt to the water in the pot and then used it to cook my meat in, rather than getting out of separate pan. Worked great. Thanks for the recipes!

[@marianne1959]

That was my thought as well! Why dirty another pan 😅

[@hindi4521]

I added a little bit of melted butter to the chicken smoothie. Helped to firm up better in the fridge. Pipped in an icing bag and used scissors to cut them. Was less messy. Thank you for your recipes

[@Jayzigz]

Just came to add that if anyone thinks they'll be making this alot or have trouble with the emulsion process. You can buy sodium citrate which is a great emulsifier. Simply bring water to a boil, add tsp to tbsp depending on Quantity of cheese sauce you're making and then add cheese and stir. It will naturally melt and emulsify with little effort and no risk of separation

[@charleshill1906]

just made this tonight and it was awesome. I'd like to note that the chicken egg smoothie can be made into homemade nuggets/popcorn really easy if you fry it in ghee. Just season it a bit and you've got nice little nuggets. Frying it definitely gave it a firmer texture but they didn't absorb the sauce as a side effect. I seasoned with ginger and a garlic/onion mix with salt and pepper and the chicken flavor was distinct from the sauce.

[@charleshill1906]

Reheating this dish is something else. I don't recommend a microwave as it really dries out the pork rind covering and causes the cheese sauce to separate slightly. Better to put it on low heat in an oven because it was a solid brick when I took it out of the fridge.

[@banterbeards8967]

For those of us who don't have a food processor the best way that I had from grinding down pork rinds is to put them in a plastic bag put them on the floor take a heavy pan if you have a cast iron skillet that's the best and just smash that bag .....that works

I too chose to use ground beef since I don't have any ground chicken in my home. I also had to experiment since I also don't have any heavy cream in my home. Go figure, eh? I used 1 cup of sour cream with 2 tbsp of water, added in what cheddars I had (Mexican and Lactose-Free Extra Old Cheddar). I skipped the "au gratin" since I prefer mine without. All in all, it turned out beautifully. Eventually I will try with the HC but my way is good to the palate.

The calorie model is not really a proper measure of the energy available from food anyway and the calorie in calorie out arguement for weight lose is completely debunked.
