Notes

  1. Meat Selection: Choose ground beef with an 80/20 fat ratio for juicier meatloaf. Ground pork adds flavor and moisture, but you can adjust the ratio based on preference.
  2. Almond Flour: Almond flour serves as a low-carb binder. Coconut flour can be used as a substitute, but use less as it absorbs more moisture.
  3. Spices and Herbs: Feel free to adjust the herbs and spices to suit your taste preferences. Add cayenne pepper for heat or smoked paprika for a smoky flavor.
  4. Onion and Garlic: Finely chop or grate the onion and garlic for even distribution of flavor throughout the meatloaf.
  5. Topping: The sugar-free ketchup mixed with a low-carb sweetener adds a tangy-sweet glaze. Adjust sweetness according to your taste.
  6. Baking Time: Oven temperatures may vary, so use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for safe consumption.
  7. Resting Time: Let the meatloaf rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meatloaf moist.
  8. Storage and Reheating: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or freeze for longer storage. Reheat slices in the microwave or oven until heated through.
  9. Customization: Experiment with adding vegetables like spinach or mushrooms to the meat mixture for extra nutrition and flavor.
  10. Serving Suggestions: Serve with Keto-friendly sides like cauliflower mash, sautéed green beans, or a side salad for a complete meal.
Enjoy your Keto Meatloaf as a delicious, low-carb option that satisfies your comfort food cravings while keeping you on track with your dietary goals.
