Keto Beef Endive Nachos
These nachos are healthy and delicious! Seasoned ground beef is flavored with a taco spice blend. The beef is loaded into endive leaves that have a bright, lemon flavor. Endive is the perfect shape for scooping up other foods, like nacho toppings! They also have the perfect texture with a firm core and crunchy leaves, so they can scoop up a lot. These nachos aren’t complete without a hefty layer of Keto nacho cheese sauce. Try to make these nachos fresh. Leftovers can be kept if the beef is kept separate from the endives. Leftover ground beef can last up to 5 days, depending on how soon you cooked it. Store any extra cheese sauce in an airtight container for up to 3 days, and microwave it in 30-second intervals to reheat it.
More nacho toppings
Most classic nacho toppings are acceptable on the Keto diet! Add shredded lettuce on top of your endive nachos with more shredded cheddar or a Mexican cheese blend. You can add pickled jalapeno rings or sour cream on top too. Don’t forget the guacamole!
Serving suggestions
If you’re just snacking at home, don’t make more than what you need! Enjoy several endives filled with cheesy, beefy nacho filling made fresh. You can make larger plates for a group of people. Make this recipe as your next Keto Superbowl snack, Keto party appetizer, or a holiday gathering dish.
Other “nacho” vegetables
Don’t limit yourself to endives! There are many low-carb vegetables that are great for scooping nachos. Try making nachos out of celery sticks, bell pepper sticks, or artichokes. Let other users know in the comments how you like to eat Keto nachos!

Step 1
Cut the stems off whole endives and remove the largest leaves until you have one piece for each nacho. Rinse off the endive leaves before adding them to a large mixing bowl. Toss the endive with extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice. Leave the bowl aside for later.Step 2
Break up the ground beef in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Break up the beef into small, crumbled pieces and season the beef with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, and cayenne. Set the beef aside once it’s cooked through and browned all over.Step 3
Make the cheese sauce by melting butter in a saucepan over low heat. Whisk the heavy cream into the butter. Heat the ingredients until they start to bubble, then whisk the cheese into the sauce. Whisk until the nacho cheese sauce comes together.Step 4
Arrange the endive leaves open-faced on a serving platter. Disperse the ground beef amongst the endive. Then, drizzle the nacho cheese sauce while it’s warm over the nachos.
