How I Make My Keto Meatloaf Recipe

For my meatloaf, I like to use lean ground beef because sooner or later, I will need to wrap it in bacon and throw it in the oven. Don’t get it? You sure will soon.

Firstly, you need to mix your preferred beef with onion, pepper, and garlic. For the pepper, you can settle for minced bell pepper.

After that, you need to stir in some eggs, almond flour, salt, pepper, cheddar, crushed pork rinds, parmesan, and Worcestershire sauce.

Using your hands, mix it well, and then form a loaf shape on your baking sheet.

Over the top of the loafed shape, place slices of bacon.

Place it inside your oven and bake for about 25 minutes.

Paleo Meatloaf Binder

There are lots of options you can go with for the binder, but I use almond flour, this is because almond flour holds the meatloaf together a whole lot better. 

Another option is pork rinds, keto meatloaf pork rinds work great and will add no extra carbs to your meatloaf. 

What is the difference? Almond flour leaves you with a heavier meatloaf and a few added carbs, while pork rinds leave you with a lighter meatloaf and no added carbs.

Best Topping For This Paleo Keto Meatloaf

Given that your meatloaf has been in the oven and has baked for 25-30 minutes, you can whisk the meatloaf sauce and spread it over the top of the meatloaf.

Here’s what the topping consists of:

  • Italian salad dressing.
  • Ketchup (sugar-free).

Have you ever come across Heinz no-sugar ketchup? It can work perfectly for the topping. 

Is This Paleo Meatloaf Recipe Freezer-Friendly?

It’s a big yes! It is very much freezer-friendly, I know most people prefer making their meal and eating it all at once with no left-overs, but what if you just can’t take any more meatloaf? Storing it in a fridge would be the best option. 

In case you don’t know how to, there are lots of guides that show you how to store food properly in a freezer.

Best Side Dishes To Go With

For me, I think Keto meatloaf is best-served alongside a side dish. There are quite a lot of side dishes that can go with this recipe, but here are some of my favorite.

  • Air fryer Brussel sprouts.
  • Keto Mashed cauliflower.
  • Ranch dressing.
  • Cauliflower Mac and cheese.
  • Cauliflower potato salad.

These side dishes are also keto-friendly.

Final Words

That’s basically it! I hope you make this keto meatloaf recipe and also enjoy it with your family or friends. This recipe can be served as lunch or dinner. It is also freezer-friendly, so, if you ever feel like preserving your Keto meatloaf in a freezer, feel free to do so.
