These simple and delicious recipes are perfect for anyone just starting out on the carnivore diet.

Below you’ll find ten easy to make carnivore recipes that will help you transition to this meat based way of eating without sacrificing flavor.

Each recipe uses basic ingredients that are completely carnivore friendly, so you can enjoy tasty meals while sticking to your new diet.

1. Carnivore Beef & Bacon Chili

There is nothing more comforting than a hot bowl of chili, and this carnivore version delivers all the flavor without any plant based ingredients.

This beef and bacon chili combines two carnivore favorites into one hearty, satisfying meal that will keep you full for hours.

2. Carnivore Loaded Chicken Salad

This loaded chicken salad is a great option when you need a quick meal that doesn’t require cooking.

It combines the convenience of canned chicken with rich, creamy ingredients to create a satisfying dish that works for lunch or dinner.

You can adjust the seasonings to suit your taste preferences. Some people like to add more garlic for extra flavor, while others prefer more black pepper for a bit of heat.

3. Carnivore Pork Belly Chips

These pork belly chips are the perfect carnivore friendly replacement for traditional potato chips.

They’re crispy, salty, and completely addictive. Plus, they’re much more filling than regular chips because of all the natural fat in pork belly.

4. Carnivore Cheesecake

Just because you’re following a carnivore diet doesn’t mean you have to give up dessert. This carnivore cheesecake is creamy, rich, and satisfying without any plant based ingredients (except vanilla extract, which many carnivore dieters allow in small amounts).

The key to getting the texture just right is beating the cream cheese until it’s completely smooth before adding the other ingredients.

The gradual addition of eggs helps create that classic cheesecake fluffiness that makes this dessert so special.

5. Carnivore Meatballs

These carnivore meatballs are simple to make but packed with flavor. The Italian cheese blend adds a nice depth of flavor that makes these meatballs stand out.

The addition of crushed pork rinds helps bind the meatballs together without needing any plant-based fillers like breadcrumbs.

This keeps them perfectly carnivore while still giving them a great texture. They’re not too dense, but hold together well during cooking.

6. Carnivore Tuna Melt Patties

These tuna melt patties are a creative way to enjoy canned tuna on a carnivore diet. They combine the familiar flavors of a classic tuna melt sandwich into a compact, protein rich patty that’s satisfying and delicious.

The key to success with this recipe is draining the tuna thoroughly. Too much liquid will make the patties fall apart during baking.

The cream cheese helps bind everything together, while the Gouda and cheddar add richness and that classic melty cheese flavor everyone loves.

7. Carnivore Breakfast Casserole

This hearty breakfast casserole is filling enough to keep you satisfied all morning. It combines breakfast sausage (or ground beef if you prefer) with eggs, cheese, and cream for a rich, protein packed meal that’s perfect for starting your day on the carnivore diet.

8. Carnivore Pizza Crust

This carnivore pizza crust proves that you don’t have to give up pizza when following a carnivore diet.

The combination of mozzarella cheese, powdered pork rinds, and egg creates a crust that’s crispy on the outside but still has a nice chew to it, similar to traditional pizza crust.

The dough is surprisingly easy to work with once all the ingredients are combined. You can shape it by hand on the parchment paper, pressing it out to your desired thickness. Thinner crusts will be crispier, while slightly thicker ones will have more chew.

9. Carnivore Lasagna

This clever carnivore lasagna uses an egg based “pasta” to replace traditional wheat noodles.

The result is a dish that captures the familiar layers and flavors of lasagna without any plant ingredients. It’s a bit more involved than some other recipes, but the results are worth the effort.

10. Carnivore Bacon Cheeseburger Meatballs

These meatballs combine all the flavors of a bacon cheeseburger into bite sized portions. They’re perfect for snacking or as part of a meal. The cooked bacon adds a smoky flavor, while the cheese melts into the meat for richness in every bite.
