I love making these little, spicy Keto Low-Carb Bacon-Wrapped Chorizo for Shawn and me. We can devour quite a few before dinner. They are tasty, filling, and addictive. It is possible to find sugar-free sausage, mostly at butcher shops. The good news is that authentic Chorizo is sugar-free. Imitations may have sugar and wheat. Also choose sugar-free bacon.
WHAT IS CHORIZO?
Originating in Spain, Chorizo is a type of sausage commonly found in many countries around the world. It is made from ground pork, seasoned with smoked paprika and other spices, and then cured. The sausage can be either sweet or spicy, depending on the type of paprika and spices used. Chorizo is a versatile ingredient that can be used in many different dishes, such as pasta, stews, and soups. It is also often cooked on its own and served as a tapa, or small dish, in Spain. Chorizo is a flavorful and delicious addition to many recipes and is loved by many people around the world.
WHAT IS THE NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF KETO LOW-CARB BACON-WRAPPED CHORIZO?
Keto Low-Carb Bacon-Wrapped Chorizo has some nutrition. The nutritional value of this sausage can vary depending on the ingredients used and the method of preparation.
In most cases, chorizo is made from pork meat and fat, and seasoned with various spices, including paprika, garlic, and chili powder. As a result, chorizo is high in calories, saturated fat, and sodium. A 3-ounce serving of chorizo contains around 300 calories, 25 grams of fat, and 800 milligrams of sodium. However, this Spanish treasure also contains protein, vitamin B12, and zinc. A 3-ounce serving of chorizo provides around 15 grams of protein, which is essential for building and repairing muscles. Vitamin B12 helps maintain healthy nerve cells and produces red blood cells, while zinc supports the immune system and helps wounds heal. Overall, while chorizo can be a tasty addition to meals, it should be consumed in moderation due to its high calorie, high saturated fat, and sodium content. It is important to balance this sausage with other nutrient-dense foods to maintain a healthy diet. In other words, eat Chorizo once in a while.

WHAT WINE HARMONIZES WITH KETO LOW-CARB BACON-WRAPPED CHORIZO?
Can you pair wine with Keto Low-Carb Bacon-Wrapped Chorizo? The fattiness from the bacon and sausage and spiciness from the sausage calls for an off-dry white wine. In following a Keto diet or in living a low-carb lifestyle, we don’t want to use up your carbs on a glass of wine. Why add the extra carbs to your meal when you can find zero carb wines! You have a couple of options:
- Drink whatever wine you like (as long as it’s bone dry) and don’t worry about pairing the wine to dish. Enjoy your wine the way you like it.
- If you like to create harmony between the wine and the food, you’ll need some sweetness in the wine to offset the heat and spice. Add a pinch of stevia or monk fruit sweetener to your glass of wine. Choose a white like Riesling or Gewurztraminer or a pink rose. These varieties taste great when bone dry or sweet. So they taste great with the added sweetener. The wine’s sweetness will nicely offset the heat and spice.
*Wine Tips: To support your Keto diet or low-carb lifestyle, choose low-carb, low-sugar, and low-alcohol wines that are free of additives and artificial coloring. Include your wine carb macros as part of your meal. Remember, your liver will process alcohol before nutrients, pausing ketone creation and slowing the ketosis process. Your body will also metabolize alcohol as fuel before using food. This can slow fat burning and may cause your body to store carbs, fat, and protein as excess body fat. Alcohol consumption also stimulates the appetite. So, drink low-sugar, low-carb, and low alcohol wines in moderation.

WHAT IS SHARI MAC’S PRODUCT RECOMMENDATION FOR YOUR KETO LOW-CARB DIET?
OMG, the Ninja NC301 CREAMi Ice Cream Maker is the BEST appliance I’ve bought for myself to support my Keto diet. I stand behind this product 100%. I eat healthy high protein, sugar-free ice cream every night. I experiment with different ingredient combinations all the time. I purchased 5 additional containers so that I can make a week’s worth of ice cream at one time. I’ve made ice cream with cottage cheese and almond milk with protein powder; tofu with almond milk and protein powder; fat-free plain yogurt with almond milk and sugar-free jello and more! The machine shaves frozen pints perfectly with its one-touch programs.. You can prepare ice cream, sorbet, gelato, milkshake, smoothie bowl, lite ice cream and more. Prep your base, freeze overnight, process, and enjoy!
Sometimes it takes more than one spin to get your desired texture. Select the re-spin function if, after processing, you want your processed treat softer and creamier. This unit is ONLY compatible with the Ninja CREAMi NC299 and NC300 pint accessories. It will NOT fit the NC100, NC200 or NC500 Series pints.
With the Ninja Creami you can enjoy healthy treats that taste just as good as regular ice cream loaded in bad saturated fat, sugar, and preservatives.
HOW DO YOU PREPARE KETO LOW-CARB BACON-WRAPPED CHORIZO?
Wrap sausage in bacon, overlapping the sides so that the whole sausage is covered.
Repeat the process for all sausages. Depending on the size of the sausage, you’ll need 3 to 4 pieces of bacon per sausage. It’s okay if the bacon layers are thick. Set aside. Repeat process for other 2 sausages.
Spray oven-proof pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set sausage into pan. Cook for 20 minutes until bacon is crispy. Turn the sausage so that all sides are the same in crispness. When crisp, remove from oven and cover in foil. Set back into the oven and cook another 10 to 12 minutes to ensure sausage is cooked inside. Remove from oven and let cool.
Cut into 1-inch pieces, securing bacon edges with toothpicks.
