This is a meal that makes you wonder how on earth you can eat it and be on a ‘diet’. Now we consider eating low-carb/Keto to be a lifestyle change around here but the point still stands! This meal is fulfilling and full of flavor. It certainly doesn’t make you feel restricted or like your missing out. I think that is part of the reason we have been so successful in the Keto way of eating, we get to keep eating amazing meals like these keto pork chops with brussel sprouts and creamy mushroom gravy.!

This looks so good – minus the mushrooms because I just can’t stand eating those things. I think my husband would absolutely love these as is though, because he enjoys mushrooms. Will have to try these at some point.
I am not a huge fan of mushrooms either – although I have learned to like them a bit more now that we eat Keto. I find its more of a texture issue with me, I don’t like the way they feel while I eat them but I do like the flavor so I dice them up pretty small and you don’t really notice them. The gravy would taste just as good without it though!
