Keto Meatloaf Recipe

Ingredients (Serves 4):

• 1 pound ground beef (at least 80% lean)
• half cup almond flour
• half cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal (mixed with 6 tablespoons of water and let sit for 5 minutes, creating a flax “egg”) or 1 additional large egg (for a non-vegan option)
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried onion powder
• half a teaspoon of garlic powder
• half a teaspoon of dried thyme
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• Keto-friendly ketchup (optional, for glaze)

Equipment:

• Large mixing bowl
• Spatula
• Loaf pan (loaf size may vary depending on desired thickness)
• Baking sheet (optional)
• Parchment paper (optional)

Instructions:

Prep Party: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, egg (or flaxseed egg), Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, and thyme. Season generously with salt and pepper.

Meatloaf Magic: Using your spatula, mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.

Shaping Up: Form the meatloaf mixture into a loaf shape in your prepared loaf pan. You can line the pan with parchment paper for easier cleanup (optional). Alternatively, form the meatloaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and create a free-form loaf shape (optional).

Bake & Glaze (Optional): Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes. During the last 10 minutes of baking, you can brush the top of the meatloaf with a thin layer of keto-friendly ketchup for a sweet and tangy glaze (optional).

Rest & Enjoy: Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to be redistributed for a more flavorful and moist meatloaf.

Key Points:

• Juicy & Flavorful: Almond flour helps retain moisture, resulting in a juicy and tender meatloaf.
• Cheesy Goodness: Parmesan cheese adds a savory and umami depth to the flavor profile.
• Keto-Friendly: Made with low-carb ingredients, it perfectly aligns with your keto macros.
