    I made mac & cheese using Egglife Wraps. I cut them into strips about 2 inches long and about 1/4" thick. I added ham. It was so good.

      @@pattiburkhart4416 I should have said 1/4" wide, not thick. Like fettucini noodles. The ham I use I got at the grocery deli. I had him cut it into 1/4" slices. Then I sliced that into strips about 1-2" long and fried them up first.

      If you have dried egg white protein powder, or egg whites, beef gelatin, and water you can make your own. I almost always make mine and add a few spices. I use indigo nili’s recipe. @@carole3445 . This recipe sounds yummy, I’ll have to try it with the shrimp and then the egg wraps.

    The more I eat carnivore the more I am discovering my body really doesn't like low carb veggies. Over the years I was eating so much crap I never knew what was causing me issues. Your recipe sounds perfect just the way it is. I have some frozen cooked lobster in the freezer, and I think this will be an awesome way to use it. Thank you for the idea!!!

    I made this at my daughter's house. We made it pescatarian for her, adding broccoli (her request), leaving out the bacon. She doesn't eat meat. It was a huge hit! She asked for the recipe! Thanks for helping Momma impress!
    PS I thought this recipe was called Mockaroni & Cheese - that's what I called it to the family.

    I personally would have added some eggs that would have been the glue that mades it a Mac n chz casserole
    And you wouldn't have tasted the egg at all. But it really would have been able to cut it.......
    But great take on flavor with the Bacon and shrimp!
    I like Havaratti cheese....very light and creamy 😋

      @@nancyjackson2279I will probably use Sodium Citrate as well, Serious Keto and ... High Falutin Low Carb both have recipe videos where they use Sodium Citrate to make queso cheese sauce and/or cheese soup. I wanna say ... 3 tsp? for a pot of soup? could have been Tbsp. It's just a mineral salt so I will count it as a dose of electrolytes, LOL🤣

  • @paulburkey2
    @paulburkey2 Рік тому +2

    I found the best cheese combo for mac n cheese is half and half sharp cheddar cheese and the Lucerne 6 Cheese Italian Blend add a teaspoon of sodium citrate to the cream will make it smooth and creamy also a dash of turmeric for the yellow color and extra flavor. I bet chicken Brest ground into a paste with egg yolks and mozzarella cheese in a food processor with a little salt then formed into noodles boiled in water then partially dehydrated to give it the al dente texture then baked in the cheese sauce would make a great macaroni replacement.

I did that once in 2012 and totally forgot about it after that! I need to make this mac & cheese AND the lasagna idea too. Thanks for all the clever tips and tricks.

    I made this last night. I used a combination of aged sharp cheddar and aged swiss which I grated myself. I was afraid I hadn't simmered the cheese sauce long enough because it was really runny. I topped with bacon, pork crumbs and parm. I didn't have any after baking, but rather covered it and refrigerated overnight. Heated a bit up this morning and it's good, just a bit salty for my taste. Now I understand why you cut in pork belly, to reduce the sodium. I'll make it again and maybe do 1/2 bacon 1/2 pork belly. Thank you!

    When I swapped to carnivore, I invested in my own hand cranked cheese shredder. Pre shredded cheese can have a lot of added stuff to it to keep it from clumping. With a nice shredder it takes only minutes. Highly recommended

  • @kimberlywarren559
    @kimberlywarren559 Рік тому +1

    I made this last night. I used Colby and Mild Cheddar blocks I shredded myself. My husband is/was a big Velveta fan. When he makes mac & cheese he uses Velveta, he knows I'm not a fan of it. He took his first bite of Carnivore Mac & Cheese and asked. What kind of cheese did you use? It tastes like Velevta. I laughed and said No you know I don't use Velveta. Now I know how to make a cheese sauce that will taste like Velevta but be good for you. I'm going to use this cheese sauce to make cheese dip as well because he likes to use Velveta in that too. Thank you so much for all you two do to help us make comfort food Keto.

    I used to love Newk’s Eatery’s pimento cheese and bacon macaroni and cheese. It consisted of Pimento Cheese, Asiago, Vermont white cheddar, Parmesan and Ammerländer Swiss cheeses and bacon folded into elbow pasta then topped with yellow cheddar and more bacon. I also loved pulled pork Mac and smoked brisket Mac. I can’t wait to try some variation on using shrimp as the macaroni.

    I haven't read further to see if anyone else commented, but don't put the shrimp directly in the water. Put the packages in the water, shrimp will thaw and you just drain it without diluting the shrimp by soaking it in water.
