Make this low carb meatloaf that tastes like the classic comfort food. It uses almond flour for binding, keeps carbs low, and slices well for meal prep. This easy keto dinner idea works for the whole family.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs ground beef (80/20 recommended)
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup sugar-free ketchup or tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (check for low sugar)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a loaf pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper for a free-form loaf.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, heavy cream, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Form the mixture into a loaf shape on your prepared pan or press it into the loaf pan.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar-free ketchup or tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard for the glaze.
  5. Spread half of the glaze mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
  6. Bake for 45 minutes.
  7. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and brush the remaining glaze over the top.
  8. Return to the oven and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  9. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For a crispier crust, you can skip the loaf pan and bake the meatloaf free-form on a baking sheet.
  • If you do not have almond flour, you can substitute crushed pork rinds for a gluten free meatloaf binder.
  • To make this recipe family friendly for non-keto eaters, you can use regular breadcrumbs for them and adjust the glaze ingredients as needed.
