Is Meatloaf Keto-Friendly?

Traditional meatloaf is made with breadcrumbs, milk, ketchup and is not keto because it’s high in carbs. 

But fortunately, there is a keto version that is just delicious as the traditional one MINUS the carbs.

Keto Meatloaf Ingredients

To make the best keto meatloaf, you will need only a few simple ingredients that are extremely easy to find. Here is a note on the ingredients

• Ground Beef – Chose lean 85/15 ground beef which still has some fat to prevent this meatloaf from drying out. To make a keto turkey meatloaf replace it with ground turkey.
• Eggs – used as a binder for the beef mixture that helps the meatloaf from falling apart.
• Almond Flour – this ingredient is used instead of breadcrumbs and helps everything bind together.
• Garlic – use fresh garlic for the best flavor. However, you can also use 1 tsp of garlic powder instead.
• Onion – finely diced onion.
• Salt&Pepper – to taste.

Meatloaf Sauce

This meatloaf is baked in a delicious meatloaf sauce that’s perfectly balanced, both sweet and tangy. Traditional meatloaf recipes require a simple ketchup glaze, but this meatloaf sauce adds incredible flavor.

• Tomato Sauce – you can make your tomato sauce or buy it; just make sure it is sugar-free.
• Mustard – feel free to use your favorite type of mustard. 
• Worcestershire Sauce – This ingredient adds richness and great flavor.
• Sweetener – if possible, choose a brown sweetener replacement.
• Vinegar – adds a tangy flavor to the sauce.

How To Make The Best Keto Meatloaf

I love how easy it is to make this delicious keto meatloaf; you will need a few minutes to prepare the mixture, then bake in the oven until perfectly tender and juicy.

1. Start by mixing the eggs, ground beef, almond flour, onion, garlic, and seasonings in a large bowl.
2. Transfer the mixture into a loaf pan lined with foil or parchment paper.
3. Bake in the preheated oven at 350F for 30 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, make the baking sauce. Add all the ingredients for the sauce to a bowl and mix them.
5. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and spread the sauce.
6. Bake for another 30 minutes or until cooked through. The meatloaf is ready when the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F. I recommend using an instant meat thermometer to check for doneness.
7. Remove from the oven and rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.

Tips For Making This Keto Meatloaf

• Before slicing the meatloaf, let it rest for 10 minutes to sear in the juices. 
• Use a slightly larger meatloaf pan so that the meatloaf has breathing space to allow for caramelized edges.
• If you used high-fat ground beef, any liquid left over after baking is normal; don’t be worried. Drain the liquid, and that’s it.
• Don’t overwork the meat mixture if you want a juicy, tender meatloaf that holds together.
• For a lighter meatloaf, swap the beef with ground turkey or chicken. 

Storing Ideas

• Make ahead – It’s easy to prepare the meatloaf mixture and cook one hour before serving. Store uncooked meatloaf in the fridge for up to 3 days, covered tightly in plastic wrap.
• Fridge – Store any leftover meatloaf in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
• Freezer – You can also freeze this meatloaf. First, ensure that the meatloaf is completely cool before slicing it. Wrap the slices and freeze for 3-4 months.
• To reheat – microwave the meatloaf slices until warm.

How To Serve This Keto Meatloaf

You can serve this meatloaf as an appetizer or pair it with your favorite side dish to make a complete meal. Here are some great ideas:

• Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes
• Oven Roasted Vegetables
• Roasted Green Beans
• Sauteed Eggplant
