24 Best Keto Crockpot Recipes You Can Make at Home

What better way to start this list than this dump recipe consisting of three ingredients? While it looks like it came out of a five-star restaurant, this recipe is definitely easy to replicate at home! Basically, you just have to dump all the ingredients in a crockpot and let it do its thing.

This slow cooker recipe starts with a fall-apart, tender chicken that is then covered with chunky salsa seasoned with salt and brightened with a squeeze of lime. Binding the chicken and the salsa, this dish is also drizzled with olive oil for additional flavor and fat. This dish has all you’re looking for: it’s easy, healthy, and delicious. Most of all, it’s the very definition of dump-and-go slow-cooker recipes.

This keto slow cooker crack chicken comes out tender and tasty. Although not as easy to prepare as the first keto crockpot recipe, this dish is just as alluring thanks to favorite low-carb staples. It has cream cheese, crispy bacon bits, and cheddar — a combination that everyone finds addicting! Another thing we like about this recipe is that it pairs well with other dishes and sides. For keto-dieters, it’s best to pair it with delicious Mediterranean cauliflower rice, salads, and low-carb crackers.

What’s not to love in a taco soup? They are warm and contain almost all the ingredients you love in comfort food: tacos. Thankfully, most ingredients are low-carb so you can eat it with little to no problem at all.

In this soup rendition, you’ll find ground beef, tomatoes, chilis, sour cream, avocados, and cheese sitting on flavorful beef broth. Now, this recipe contains black and kidney beans which are both avoided on a clean keto diet. So we recommend swapping carb-loaded beans with low-carb substitutes such as green beans and black soybeans instead.

When one says low-carb crockpot meals, chicken, pork, and beef often comes to mind. Although not common in many households, quail meat is a great source of quality protein that contains very low carbohydrates. Packed with healthy fats, it’s a great addition to your keto diet meals.

It’s not a dump recipe though, but it’s an easy dish that requires only one pot (Crockpot to be precise) so there’s hardly any cookware to clean after!

Looking for other low-carb crockpot recipes that are not the usual chicken parm, chicken alfredo, or bacon? Here’s a recipe you can add to your list of keto crockpot recipes: creamy chicken drumsticks!

This soup-like dish features cream of chicken soup (you can use a low carb version so it’s keto-friendly), button mushrooms, and some of your favorite best cheeses such as Parmesan and cheddar. Combined, the ingredients create a warm and comforting dish even kids will like. Pairing it with cauliflower rice will make it more filling, but you can eat it on its own too if that’s what you prefer. An additional sprinkling of cheese wouldn’t hurt either! Don’t forget to swap the all-purpose flour with almond flour or any other keto-friendly flour.

Unlike the usual fried chicken, this rendition is not off the charts for keto dieters. Just remember to swap whole wheat flour with almond flour! To make the chicken coating mix, you‘ll also need garlic powder, dried oregano, and a few pantry staple seasonings.

Now, you might be wondering how to achieve crispy chicken if you’re cooking it in a crockpot. Well, let us tell you a few secrets: coat your chicken thinly and place it in the slow cooker with the skin facing up. This is so the meat absorbs juices and fat instead of the skin. This makes your chicken savory and tender in each bite! Leaving a small gap in the lid will also prevent moisture from dripping down your crunchy chicken. Give it a shot and let us know how it goes.

This recipe uses a mixture of low-sodium soy sauce, garlic powder, ground ginger, ketchup, and brown sugar. To make it even healthier, you can swap the ketchup and brown sugar with sugar-free ketchup and stevia. Even with alternatives, this recipe comes beautifully, a replica of the original version.

Some like to eat this pork cabbage with a slice of crusty bread. If you’re on a keto diet, it’s more likely you’ll replace it with Ezekiel bread or cloud bread. Some, however, like to completely skip it. You might be wondering why. Well, cabbage and pork complement each other quite well. The sweetness of the cabbage cuts through the salty and savory flavor of the pork, creating a well-balanced flavor. The recipe is so simple too. If you don’t have energy zipping around your kitchen, try this dump recipe you can prep in only five minutes!

Pork chops are a lean cut so you might notice it becomes tough if you overcook them. It also easily dries out especially when you grill or pan fry them.

Try this trick and let us know your thoughts.

Here’s a suggestion: top with some cheddar or mozzarella cheese, broil until melted, and eat it on its own for a meal fit for a keto diet.

Say hello to this Hungarian favorite: goulash. Goulash is a sort of stew that consists of beef and vegetables.

The traditional recipe has no pasta of any sort, just beef, vegetables, and soup or stew base which makes it a good meal for a ketogenic diet.

Like pork chop, beef is another meat that can get tough when you cook it the wrong way. Your slow cooker can help tenderize meat with the use of trapped steam and low heat without overcooking them. So what better way to cook your beef than using a slow cooker?

The usual chicken cacciatore is seared first in a cast-iron skillet before sauteing and adding it with the rest of the ingredients. For our list of keto crockpot recipes, we opt the easy version that involves no searing and instead utilizes the help of a crockpot for an easy recipe you can make on busy weekdays. The skin is also taken off so it doesn’t get soggy. We don’t want that, don’t we?

This saucy dish usually pairs great with pasta and mashed potatoes. But for a low-carb diet, you can try cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles, and some steamed veggies. If you still want to serve it with pasta, try the keto version.

Let’s add this slow cooker salmon to the list of super easy slow cooker recipes. Aside from being easy to put together, it’s full of omega-3 fatty acids and comes out tender and flavorful thanks to the creamy lemon sauce.

Before you cook, swap the type of lemon you can use. We recommend Meyer lemon which is the sweeter variety. If lemons are not your thing, you can opt for rosemary or thyme. Wine and belted butter is also a nice alternative for chicken broth. Use whatever suits your fancy!

Just as the name suggests, this dish is made with Italian sausage and bell peppers filled with the savory and tangy flavors of tomato sauce and basil. Using canned tomato or marinara sauce? Note that most cans and bottles have sugar in them so remember to check the label before buying them.

For non-keto dieters, sausage and peppers are commonly enjoyed with a steaming cup of rice or hoagie rolls. Again, swap that with cauliflower or roasted asparagus for a keto-approved combination.

Last on our list of keto crockpot recipes is this casserole recipe. Now, not all beans are necessarily banned in the keto diet. Some variants like black soybeans and green beans are keto-approved. For this recipe, you’ll be using the green sort. The dish contains only a few ingredients that you might already have in your pantry including cream of chicken soup, milk, and cheese. Regular milk is not keto-friendly though, so we recommend swapping it with either almond milk or soy milk. Once done, you’ll be surprised with a cheesy side dish you can pair with crockpot roasted chicken or crockpot quail.
