1. For Chili Lovers

Chili is one of the most popular dishes in America. So, adding a keto-friendly recipe to this guide was a must. For this easy recipe, all you'll need is: 

• 2.5 lbs ground beef
• 1/2 large onion
• Eight cloves of garlic

• 2 tbsp cumin 
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

First, chop and saute your onion in a skillet until they are translucent, and then add your garlic. Then, add your ground beef to the onions and garlic and cook until it's brown. 

After, add the mixture to your crockpot. Continue by adding all of the other ingredients. Finally, slow cook for 6-8 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high. 

For best results, stir every few hours. 

2. Game Night Buffalo Chicken

If you are planning on hosting a game night, you must give these buffalo chicken wings a try. All you'll need is:

• 4 lbs of chicken wings 
• 4 cloves of minced garlic
• 1.5 cups of your favorite buffalo sauce
• 1/2 an onion 

To make them, combine the buffalo sauce, garlic, and onion and set the mixture aside. Then, add the chicken wings to your crockpot and cover them with the buffalo sauce mixture. 

Cook for 3.5-4 hours on high. 

Serve along with air fryer jalapeño poppers for the ultimate game night meal! If you prefer boneless buffalo wings, you can substitute the chicken wings with four pounds of cubed chicken breast. 

3. Vegan Butternut Squash Soup

This butternut squash soup is a total dream for vegans and keto dieters. The best part? Making it is straightforward; all you'll need is:

• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
• Salt and pepper
• Toasted pumpkin seeds (for topping)

Add the onion and olive oil to your crockpot and cook for about 8 minutes until softened.

In the meantime, peel the squash and trim the top and bottom parts. Remove all seeds, and chop them into cubes. Add salt and pepper, cayenne, and nutmeg to the crockpot along with the apple (also chop it). 

Cover the crockpot and let it cook on low for around 7 hours (check that the squash is tender, that's when you'll know it is ready). 

Then, add the coconut milk, and transfer the mixture into a food processor or blender. Puree the soup until creamy. 

Top with toasted pumpkin seeds, and enjoy!
