If you’ve not tried our Keto Hot Pockets yet, you’re in for a treat. These spicy beef hot pockets are packed full of flavour, not too hot but if you’re a chilli lover you can totally up the anti and go chilli mad.
I served these low-carb spicy beef hot pockets to Mr B (my food critic and chief taste tester) and I couldn’t help but chuckle at the big thumbs up, you’re through to the next round wave. He thinks he’s John Torode off Masterchef! LOL!
These keto-friendly hot pockets make a great low carb lunch idea or comfort food dinner, served with a simple side salad.
