In reply to Cynthia. Hi Cynthia; glad you are enjoying the recipes! We did use that much olives but it was for people who are big olive fans! If you're not as excited about olives you can definitely get away with one can.

Hi, Kalyn! Big fan of your recipes and I point people to your site quite often. So this recipe really calls for two of the *big* cans of black olives? Seems like a lot, but I’ll do it if you say so. 🙂 Thanks.

This was DELICIOUS, Kalyn! Just made some for my family. Your blog has easily been one of THE most impactful parts of my weight loss journey with keto. I read it on the regs and recommend it to everyone I know who is beginning the journey :). Thank you so much!

Made this today, so good! Used salsa Verde instead of red salsa. Also added in a couple of cubed sweet potatoes. Yum!

Not sure what you mean, there is really no fat to drain off from the meat.

I can't really give a recipe for stovetop cooking just off the cuff, since I've never made it that way. But in general you would use more liquid for cooking on the stove, and cook at the lowest simmer. I'd love to know what works if you try adapting it.

How would I cook this on the stove and not in a crock pot?

Tony, the Pace Picante Sauce I used has 16 carbs in the one cup of salsa. For a recipes that makes 4-6 servings, that doesn't seem extremely high in carbs for me since there is nothing else in the dish with any significant carbs, but of course you are welcome to use any ingredients you prefer.

I religiously follow a low carb diet. The salsa is something I would stay away from in this recipe. 1 cup would amount to 16 – 20 carbs alone depending on the brand. I think you can accomplish the same flavor result by using a can of Rotel diced tomato w/chili's. That would cut the carbs in half compared to salsa. Otherwise it sounds very good.
