Most kids don’t care for meatloaf; however, my kids love this BBQ Cheeseburger Meatloaf. I think because it combines two of their favorites, BBQ sauce and cheeseburgers.This is an easy keto dinner recipe that I can make up for them and know they will finish their whole plates. They love the sweet, tangy BBQ sauce flavor coated over the gooey, cheesy meatloaf.This is a guaranteed family pleaser and it’s very easy to prepare. I list some meal prep ideas down below to make weeknight dinner even easier.
I prefer to make my own 
Traditionally, meatloaf is made with bread crumbs which provide moisture and help to lighten the texture of the meatloaf. Along with eggs, they also serve to help bind the meatloaf together.Since we aren’t using bread crumbs in this recipe, we are provide moisture by adding sautéed onion and garlic. Ground pork rinds are added in place of the bread crumbs to provide texture and help bind our meatloaf together.
Ground pork rinds can be made by grinding up pork rinds in a food processor or you can buy them online already ground. The brand I prefer is 
Making meatloaf can be as simple as molding it into a log shape on a foil lined baking tray. I like to use meatloaf pans to make this dish. 
Delicious!
This was sneaky good! I don’t eat pork so I substituted 1/2 cup of almond flour for the pork pinko and the meatloaf was super moist and flavorful. I didn’t have Colby jack so I used a shredded Mexican blend I had bought on a whim at Trader Joe’s. I can’t wait to have the leftovers after the flavors have had a chance to meld in the fridge!
Every one of your recipes has been unbelievably delicious, easy to make and has very well balanced flavors and seasoning. For anyone who’s getting bored on keto, your recipes are the solution!
I had just left a question on the YouTube recipe asking about substitutions for pork rinds. I will definitely try this!
Thanks for your comment! Because I was wondering what the alternative for pork rinds is. I do not eat pork either
Delicious and fairly easy keto recipe but it took quite a bit longer to cook than the 45-60 minutes. Plan on closer to an hour and fifteen minutes to an hour and a half to be fully done. Still, worth the wait.
Made this dish tonight, we don’t have the Colby jacks cheese here in Ireland so I just used cheddar. Absolutely delicious!
This is my ride or die meatloaf recipe it’s soooo good and the whole family loves it. The bbq and cheese give it such a great flavor. Definitely the best one I have tried. I do prefer to do the log method than in a meatloaf pan cuz it makes it less soggy. I usually make it with the pork rinds but I’ll try the almond flower per the other comments just to see. I think coconut flour may be good idea since it does absorb liquid similar to bread crumbs
It is so good! so yammy.
I also made your recepy BBQ sause.
So full of flavor! I used pork, beef, and veal because it’s what I had on hand. I didn’t use fresh onions as they make me spike so I used dried onions instead (1 tablespoon). Other than that, I followed the directions. I served it with a side salad and stayed on plan. We will make this again and soon!
