Beef fritters are a delightful dish that's perfect for family dinners or a gathering with friends. Growing up in the Midwest, I've always been fond of hearty meals that bring everyone together around the table. These low carb beef fritters are a twist on a classic, and they’re great for anyone looking to cut back on carbs without sacrificing flavor. They're savory, filling, and wonderful for getting the kids involved in the cooking process.
These tasty beef fritters pair wonderfully with a fresh garden salad or some steamed green beans. For a comforting and complete meal, consider adding a side of roasted vegetables or a creamy cauliflower mash. They also go well with a dollop of sour cream or a tangy homemade salsa on top.

Variations & Tips
For picky eaters, you can sneak in some finely chopped vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini into the mixture. If your family enjoys a bit of spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or some chopped jalapeños. For a cheesy variation, try mixing in some shredded cheddar or mozzarella. These fritters can also be baked in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes if you prefer a less greasy option.
