I love Jamaican beef patties. On my recent trip back home to Trinidad it was one of my guilty pleasures. It is with great joy that I can present a low carb version of this recipe that mimics the real thing. You will love these meat patties, they are so flavorful and delicious.
Meat Filling
2 tablespoons butter
1 lb ground beef
1 small onion (minced)
1 green habanero pepper (can omit if you want a milder patty)
2 minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon blackpepper
1/2 teaspoon of all spice
2 Bay leaves
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
3/4 cups broth
2 minced green onions
In a heavy skillet melt the butter then add onions and hot pepper and sauté until translucent (about 4 to 5 minutes.)
Add the garlic and thyme and continue to sauté for another minute. Add half the salt and combine.
Add the ground beef breaking up any clumps, and let cook until the meat is no longer pink. Season the beef with the curry powder,salt, black pepper, all spice and bay leaf. Mix in the ketchup and Worcestershire sauce. Add the beef broth and stir. Bring the mixture to a boil then reduce heat add let simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated (about 10 minutes) the sauce should be thick. Add the green onions at the last 5 mins of cooking.
Remove from heat and allow to cool while preparing the dough.
For the Dough
1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons of cream cheese
1 cup almond flour
1 large egg
1/2 tsp of turmeric powder
1 tablespoon curry powder
1/4 cups of oat fiber (optional)
In a microwave safe bowl add the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese and microwave for 1 minute. Add an additional 30 seconds if still not softened. Mix the Almond four, curry powder and turmeric powder together. Combine with the cheese mixture than add beaten egg and combine. Spread between two parchment paper and form circle for a patty. Fill patties and seal with a folk. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 mins.
Hey Nicole, did you make them?
I LOVE Jamaican patties more than anything! I’m making these tomorrow I can’t wait! Thanks for the recipe!
I am making these tomorrow! Will let you know how they turn out, I am super excited! Thanks for the recipe
No, I will make one. I love spinach pies.
Recipe looks great do you have one for the Spinach Patties?
Hi Hazel, how did it come out? So curious to know lol 🙂
Great Cathy! Please let me know when you try it:)
Just came across your recipe as I was craving Jamaican Patties. We have an awesome Caribbean restaurant in town, but can’t have due to carb count. I will definitely be trying your recipe in the near future. I’m on a hunt for an appropriate curry powder. I’m in Canada and on amazon the one you use is just under $21. Too rich for my blood lol. I will try and remember to post a reply after I have made these. Thanks for posting!!
Hi Jay I have been watching your video on Jamaican patties and I will try them this weekend and let you know the out come 🙂
Hey Barb, those sausage rolls sound delish! I need to try that one myself, thanks for sharing that amazing idea:)
These are super delish! Thank you very much.
When I lived in England many years ago, I loved the
sausage rolls. I think I can use your recipe and instead
of the ground beef filling I shall make the English sausage
mixture and voila….English sausage rolls!
Hi Barbo,
I know this was posted some time ago. Did you ever make them?
Hello, its made with Oat fiber which is not the same as oats. Oat fiber has 0 Net Carb:)

Thank you so much for this recipe!
The crust is the best “keto version” of anything I have ever made.
What’s the carb count and nutritional info please.
Sorry for the late replay Marie. The oat fiber is used because the dough gets very sticky. If you don’t have oat fiber you can make it without it.
Hi! Very excited to try these! The recipe lists oat fiber as optional; if I don’t use it, will the dough still work? What can I use as a good substitute if I can’t find it?
Did you try it, Louise? I anxious to hear the outcome lol 🙂
yay!! I am so glad you tried it and was able to customize it to your liking. I love Jamaican Patties:)
I made these last night and they were great! I increased the seasoning in the meat quite a bit-more curry powder and allspice plus I added garlic powder, cumin and cayenne pepper. It came together easily and the dough was great. Thanks for the recipe!
Definitely will try this looks good
Looks so yummy anxious to try this recipe thanks for the good work. God Bless…
