Guacamole with Goat Cheese and Bacon

This year to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary we went to Branson. The idea was to have a quiet romantic getaway and explore the city. There we went to a place called ‘Top of the Rock’ which offers breath taking views of the Ozark Mountains and Table Rock Lake. 

After we had finished exploring the beautiful scenery and taken a golf cart ride to the caves, we went to a restaurant called Arnie's Barn at Top of the Rock. Now Mexican cuisine may not be ideal for the keto dieters but it is the perfect place to have a wonderful lunch specially if you are celebrating something special! We started our meal with Tortilla Chips and Bacon Guacamole which had House Smoked Bacon, Roasted Corn Salsa and Queso Fresco.

This Guacamole was so good that we immediately decided to try this at home. So, yesterday I looked for the recipe, made a few changes and improvised it to suit my Keto needs. Foodies enjoy this delicious Keto Guacamole with Goat Cheese and Bacon.
