American Wagyu Beef Keto Blend, Broccoli & Cheese Casserole
This easy casserole really has it all - the beefy flavor of American Wagyu, a creamy sauce, melted cheese and crisp broccoli. This is a recipe intended for fitting the macros of a ketogenic diet. If you’re not following keto and would prefer to lighten it up a bit, you can easily substitute the ground keto blend for our regular ground beef, bison or elk, half and half instead of the cream and sour cream instead of cream cheese. Either way, this quick dinner is convenient and will not disappoint when it comes to flavor. The rich and creamy sauce is satisfying and decadent, and the classic combination of broccoli and cheese is always a winner.

What Is The Keto Diet?
This diet was developed mainly as a treatment for epilepsy in children that has been found to be highly effective in reducing seizures. However, many people who follow a ketogenic diet are not epliptic and do so for other reported benefits. The goal of a ketogenic diet is to go into ketosis, a state in which your body burns fat for energy instead of carbs. Ketosis requires a pretty specific balance of nutrients. Little to no carbohydrates are permitted. The majority of calories should come from fat, with adequate protein intake. Many people report feeling mental clarity and improved energy levels while following keto. It’s been shown to be quite effective for weight loss, as well as lowering blood pressure and cholesterol.

Pasture Raised American Wagyu Beef
Our beef is completely free range, raised on our beautiful ranch just outside of Las Vegas, New Mexico. The cows are a variety of American Wagyu that resulted from breeding Japanese Wagyu cows with American Angus. The result is flavorful, tender cuts of beef that look and taste amazing. These cows live essentially wild, roaming free on a wide open expanse of beautiful land in northern New Mexico. There is a stream running through the ranch, lots of trees and absolutely stunning scenery nestled in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. They are pasture raised and true to Japanese tradition, have access to high quality grain as they desire.
