Can I use turkey or chicken instead of beef and pork for the meatloaf?
Yes! Ground turkey or chicken work fine. Lean meats cook a bit faster, so check a few minutes early.
What can I use instead of sugar-free ketchup?
If you don't have sugar-free ketchup, you can use a low-carb BBQ sauce or make your own by mixing tomato paste with a little vinegar and your choice of sweetener.
How should I store leftovers of the meatloaf?
Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or wrap tightly and freeze for longer storage.
Can I make this meatloaf dairy-free?
Yes! You can omit the Parmesan cheese and replace the heavy whipping cream with unsweetened almond milk or coconut cream for a dairy-free version.
How can I make this recipe more flavorful?
Add paprika, garlic powder, or Italian seasoning to the meat mixture. A splash of hot sauce or chopped jalapeños gives it a nice kick.
Meatloaf is a classic homecooked dinner favorite, and this one has all the key ingredients – beef, pork, ketchup, onion, Worcestershire, egg, cheese and parsley. Instead of breadcrumbs, I use ground pork rinds for moisture and structure, which keeps it gluten free and low carb.
A brushing of mildly spicy tomato sauce before baking gives it that sweet, tangy topping. The best part? Dinner on the table in under 30 minutes.
This was seriously the best meatloaf I have ever had! I can't do full Keto because of a heart condition, but I am doing very low carb. Used 93/7 lean ground beef and this was still crazy juicy. Thanks for the fabulous recipe
I made this with turkey tonight and added chopped celery and chopped onion instead of the grated onion. Two of us liked the extra crunch; one did not. Thanks for the great meal recipe!
This recipe looks awesome and I love how easy it is. I have a question about the meat and fat- I usually drain my beef fat when preparing dishes like tacos or a keto lasagna. Is the meatloaf greasy at all due to it not having anywhere to drain while cooking? Thanks!
Yes, it will be greasy, but if you use a meatloaf pan with perforated edges, it will give the grease a place to go. Here is one that would work: https://amzn.to/3Oatbyh
Lauren I have a Tupperware vegetable steamer I make my meatloaf in - in the microwave. I didn't do this when trying this recipe for the first time, but I will revert to it next time because the fat drains out the colander holes. (I'm not keto, just low carb and love Annie's channel and site) So if you can find a microwave safe steamer, it's 25 minutes on roast (70% power), I believe, if you use two pounds of meat. I usually do a little over a pound at 16 minutes.
Loved this! But had a question? Why the whipping cream? I can't really have milk so I did not add any. But was wondering what does it do for the meat loaf?
It just adds moisture. You can omit it or use nut milk instead.
Great recipes.
What size sheet pan is that?
It's a half sheet pan - just your standard size for cookie
Holy freaking cow Batman this was delicious.
This is a wonderful, hearty comfort food for the whole family that does not taste “diet” at all! Everyone loved this so I’m putting it in the regular rotation for sure!! Love your YouTube channel & blog! Looking forward to trying more! Thanks very much!
We love everything about this recipe! In fact my hubby said he liked it better than regular meat loaf (and my pre keto meat loaf was enjoyed by many). It comes together so easily, and the sheet pan cooking gives it a great cook on all sides. The topping/sauce is so flavorful, too! I cut the recipe in half, but making it as written would definitely be ideal for meal prep or freezer. It hits all the comfort food wants!
This was delicious! I loved the technique of spreading out the meatloaf to make it cook faster. Thank you for sharing.
I just started my Keto journey and this has become a go-to recipe for a quick and easy meal. It's absolutely delicious!
