Many meatloaf recipes are used with breadcrumbs, and put sugary ketchup on top, and are therefore not keto. To make it keto, I use ground flaxseed (aka flaxmeal) in the recipe below to help keep it sturdy, and I use a sugar-free ketchup instead.
- 2 pounds of ground beef, ideally grassfed
- 1/2 cup of chopped onion (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup of ground flaxseed
- 2 large eggs
- 6 oz Tomato paste (look for one with no added sugars)
- 5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 3 TBSP Worcestershire sauce
- 1 TBSP Italian Seasoning
- 1 TBSP Pink Salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup of sugar-free ketchup. I used Alterna Sweets Classic Tomato Ketchup, which I discovered from my monthly Keto Krate subscription box.
- Preheat oven to 350 F
- Either prepare a loaf pan by greasing it, or use a silicone loaf pan
- Mix all ingredients except the ketchup in a large bowl until well combined
- Take the mixture in your hands and try to firm it up, then press it into the loaf pan
- Bake for 30 minutes
- Remove from oven and spread the ketchup over the top. Put back in oven for another 30 minutes.
- Check internal temperature. It should be 160 F in the center. If not, bake in 5-10 minute intervals and keep checking temp until 160.
- Rest for 5 or 10 minutes, then slice and enjoy!
