Keto 50-Clove Garlic And Cheese-Crusted Hot Dogs
Why this version is better
Dropping the buns reduces net carbs from ~36g to ~8g per serving, bringing the recipe firmly into ketogenic range. Calories drop by ~150 per serving. Protein and fat ratios improve relative to carbs. The addition of avocado provides heart-healthy monounsaturated fats to compensate for satiety lost from removing the bread.
Cooking note: Removing the hot dog buns eliminates the primary carb source. Lettuce wraps are dry and structural, so no liquid ratio adjustments are needed. The cheese crust and garlic butter steps remain chemically identical. Scoring and griddle technique are unchanged.
