Continuing on my quest for lazy comfort food, today I’m making Cheesy Pepperoni. Yesterday I posted Bacon Rollups and this one is even easier!
These two are great keto snacks as is, 0 carbs, good ratio, and relatively low calories!
Throw one serving of pepperoni into a cast iron skillet.
Cut the cheese into 8 pieces, then eat one.
This step is optional, but they will be flatter if you use a bacon press to compress them while cooking.
Add cheese to each slice and keep in cooking until the cheese melts.
And your done! A quick keto snack.

Thanks! I meant to tell you, I saw a post of yours linked on my friends Facebook account; I feel like I know a celebrity 🙂
These look awesome, I do something similar but just on a plate in the microwave when I am really in a rush. Gotta love meat and cheese!
Ive been doing something like this
I plop down a handful of cheese and get it all nice and crispy, then toss a tsp of pasta sauce and a bunch of pepperonis over that, really good
Just tried this with pepperjack! yum!
Quick cooking tip: to melt cheese on anything A LOT quicker… Take a small handful of water from the faucet and drop into the cooking skillet and immediately cover. The steam melts all the cheese in under a minute.
Terrific. For some added flavor, I throw a single jalapeno slice on top of each one, under the cheese.
Just tried this and it was quite satisfying. Thanks, Caveman Keto!
