Easy Keto Recipes: Pork & Mushroom Garlic Sauce

KETO Pork & Mushroom Garlic Sauce with Smashed Brussel Sprouts
I can't believe I used to take a can of mushroom soup and cooked pork chops and call it good. Sure it tasted alright but it came from a can, which can really mess with your endocrine system and has all kinds of extra ingredients that are probably not healthy for you. And this isn't something I occasionally ate, the one who raised me fed this to me on the regular for years but we've been trying to be healthy adults here...

And we did love this mushroom dish so of course we needed a healthier version because we love mushrooms! Well, not all of us, my children would never eat a mushroom but husband and I love eating sautéed mushrooms, like a lot!

It turns out that mushrooms are kind of good for you, despite how they come about hah! Below I have listed a few reasons why we should be eating mushrooms (source) and I love to list these off as I serve them to my picky children to encourage them to nourish their bodies!

Health Benefits to Eating Mushrooms


  • Help lower your cholesterol levels
  • Prevents breast & prostate cancer
  • Improves bone health
  • Boosts you immune system
  • Reduces blood pressure
  • Stimulates absorption of iron
  • Protects diabetics from infections
Another recipe we love with mushrooms is our Stuffed Mushrooms and although it's made with healthy mushrooms, there is nothing really healthy about all that cream cheese and bacon... But it IS Keto! So is this Pork & Mushroom Garlic Sauce recipe, actually!

This recipe is served with Smashed Brussel Spouts in the photos, if you also want that recipe, it's right here!

Yes, I know it's a pain but hey! 
At least you aren't bombarded by pop up advertisements!
