Thread: LC Meatloaf?

Does anyone have a LC recipe for meatloaf? My dad is dying to eat meatloaf, and I don't know how to make it low carb.

Crying may last for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Psalm 30:5

2 lbs. ground beef
1 1/2 cups spicy pork rinds (finely crushed)
2 eggs
1 small green pepper, chopped (optional)
1/4 cup water
1 cup Pasta Sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl combine all ingredients except 1/2 cup Sauce and 1/2 cup cheese.

In a 9x13 baking dish, shape into loaf. Top with remaining Sauce.

Bake uncovered for 1 hour. Sprinkle top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake an additional 10 minutes. Let it stand for 10 minutes before serving


This is one that I found under recipes on this website. Tried it last week and it turned out really well. I put a couple of servings in the freezer and had one for lunch today. So it freezes well too.

Here's mine:

2 lbs. ground beef
1 lb. Italian sausage
1/2 cup flax meal
2 eggs
2 T. worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup minced onion
1 tsp. minced garlic
Seasonings to taste - I like Italian, a little garlic salt, and a little chili powder

Mix all together well, using hands. Shape into loaf or pack into 2 loaf pans, then turn out onto broiler rack - line bottom of pan with foil to cut down on cleanup. The broiler rack lets the fat run off.

Bake in 350* oven til 160* when tested with thermometer. Let rest 10 minutes before cooking.

Serve with salsa, chow chow, low carb ketchup, mustard, or whatever you like!

Plenty left over for sandwiches too...love the Oroweat low carb bread....

Being "over the hill" is much better than being under it....

My family loves this:

2-3 lbs. ground beef
part of a pkg. of onion soup mix (or all if very few carbs!)
1/2 cup salsa
Mix together and bake!!

Making LC meatloaf tonight for supper. Added jalapeno peppers, 2 eggs, and used one slice of LC bread, toasted and crumbled (like bread crumbs). Then added garlic pepper, salt and pepper (all I had in the cupboard to season). Have never tried it with LC bread.

Will let you know how it turns out.

I never make meatloaf, but these sound good. I like the idea of using flax meal instead of crumbs.

Never ever ever try it with LC bread.

Looked like a science experiment when it was done.

Try using Almond Flour in place of breadcrumbs or pork rinds. I do that and it's really good.
