How To Make Keto Italian Sausage Skillet Meal:
Step One: Cut Italian sausage into bite-sized pieces.
Step Two: Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat
Step Three: Add Italian sausage to hot skillet and cook completely through, usually 8-10 minutes. If there is extra grease, pour it off.
Step Four: At the same time as Step Three, you’ll want to steam your broccoli. You can do this on the stovetop or microwave. Take care not to overcook it. You want it crisp and tender, not soggy
Step Five: Add broccoli to the skillet with the Italian sausage.
Step Six: Melt 2 tbsp of unsalted butter over sausage and broccoli.
Step Seven: Add in ½ tsp of Thyme and 1 tsp of Basil – Stir to coat the ingredients well
Step Eight: Add sliced cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Combine all ingredients well and simmer for another 1-2 minutes.
Step Nine: Top with salt and pepper to taste. I like to also garnish mine with parmesan cheese.
Enjoy!
