Notes
Tips:
- Use lean ground beef: Using lean ground beef will help keep the meatloaf from becoming too greasy or heavy.
- Don't overmix the meat mixture: Overmixing the meat mixture can result in a tough and dense meatloaf. Mix the ingredients just until combined.
- Use almond flour instead of breadcrumbs: Traditional meatloaf recipes call for breadcrumbs, which are high in carbs. Almond flour is a great low-carb substitute that helps bind the meat mixture.
- Season the meat mixture well: Adding a variety of seasonings such as paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder will add flavor to the meatloaf.
- Cut the cheese into small cubes: Cutting it into small cubes will help it melt evenly throughout the meatloaf.
- Brush the meatloaf with BBQ sauce: Brushing the meatloaf with BBQ sauce will add flavor and moisture to the meatloaf.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Letting it rest for a few minutes before slicing will help the cheese inside set and prevent it from oozing out when sliced.
- Serve with low-carb sides: Serve the meatloaf with low-carb sides such as roasted vegetables, a salad, or cauliflower rice to keep the meal keto-friendly.
