Keto Meatloaf

[mos]

Keto meatloaf can be hearty, tender, and full of flavor regardless of the diet. With this recipe, you will not miss bread crumbs at all, because they are replaced by something more delicious and satisfying… pork rinds! They add a tremendous amount of flavor to the meatloaf and bind it together, making it even tastier.

Keto Meatloaf

1 lb ground beef
1 lb chorizo or Italian sausage
1 cup pork rinds — ground into crumbs
1 egg
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 tbs parsley, chopped
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 cup onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 lb thin-sliced bacon
1/3 cup tomato sauce (optional)

Preheat the oven to 350°. Combine the ground beef, sausage, and pork rinds in a large bowl. Mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed, but make sure not to over mix or else the meat will be tough.

Whisk together the egg, heavy cream, salt, pepper, parsley, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese.

Pour the egg mixture over the meat mixture. Add in the onion and garlic. Combine until all of the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Form the meat mixture into a loaf shape.

Wrap the meatloaf with the strips of bacon.

Carefully pick up the meatloaf and place it on a cooling rack over an aluminum foil-wrapped baking sheet. Pour the tomato sauce over the top of the meatloaf.

Bake in the preheated oven uncovered for one hour or until the top is caramelized and the internal temperature is 165°. Can increase the temperature to 375° for the last 5 min to further caramelize the top and crisp up the bacon.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Slice and serve immediately with favorite keto sides, like mashed cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. Makes 6 slices
