THE BEST LOW CARB KETO MEATLOAF RECIPE (EASY)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except meat and ketchup, and mix. Then add meat and mix until fully incorporated. Avoid overmixing.
• Transfer the mixture into a baking dish and form into a loaf shape. Bake for 30 minutes.
• Spread the ketchup on top of the meatloaf (if using). Return to the oven and bake for 25-45 more minutes, until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). (Time will vary depending on thickness of the loaf.) For best results, use a probe thermometer, which will beep when it's done so you don't have to keep checking.
• Rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Cut carefully using a serrated bread knife (not a chef's knife).

GLUTEN-FREE KETO MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease the bottom of a rimmed baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Set aside.
• Put the mushrooms in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped but not mushy and blended, about 10 times.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 1 minute. Stir in the mushrooms and cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes; some liquid will be released but should evaporate while cooking. Add the tomato paste and cook 1 minute, stirring to coat the mushrooms. Transfer the mushroom mixture to a large bowl and set aside.
• Add the red peppers and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the same skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until light brown and well caramelized, about 10 minutes. If the bottom of the skillet starts browning too quickly, add 1 teaspoon of water and scrape with a wooden spoon. Add the red peppers to the mushroom mixture. Add the ground chuck, ground pork, Cheddar, parsley, Parmesan, almond flour, thyme, egg, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and mix to combine.
• Transfer the meatloaf mix to the prepared baking sheet and form into a loaf. Arrange the strips of bacon over top in a single layer. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the middle of the loaf registers 165 degrees F, 50 to 60 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
