Animal-Based Paleo-Keto Hot Dog Recipe

Guilt free Hot Dog

If you’re following a Paleolithic-Ketogenic Diet (PKD), carnivore, or animal-based ketogenic diet, you might fondly remember sinking your teeth into a hot dog. It’s the ultimate quick-fix comfort food—tasty, convenient, but often loaded with carbs, additives, and questionable oils, especially when slathered with sauce. Hot dogs, sadly, don’t align with the nutrient-dense goals of these diets. animal based paleo keto hot dog recipe

Recently, I found myself with a leftover additive-free pork-beef sausage and decided to reinvent the hot dog, animal-based-style. I crafted a version that skips the plants, sugar, and additives entirely, while hitting the ideal fat-to-protein ratio. Best of all? Each serving clocks in at under 1 gram of carbs. Here’s how I brought this keto-friendly classic back to life!
