• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Liquid smoke
• 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until it is browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 3

While the beef is cooking, mix onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl.

Once the beef is cooked through, drain excess fat from the skillet if necessary.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low, sprinkle the spice mixture over the beef, and stir to combine well.

Step 6

Add sugar-free BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke to the beef. Stir until the beef is well-coated with the sauce.

Step 7

Simmer on low heat for an additional 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Taste, and adjust seasonings if required, adding more salt or cayenne for additional heat.

Step 9

Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.

Step 10

Pair with keto-friendly sides such as cauliflower mash or a green salad for a complete meal.
