Keto Friendly Meat Loaf

I have been dying to make meatloaf after I read in one of my books that you can use pork rinds in place of bread crumbs in meatloaf. So I altered our homemade meatloaf recipe to make it Keto friendly! And guess what? The pork rinds worked well! The whole family loved the meatloaf. 

Keto Meatloaf ~ 

Ingredients ~ 

2 Eggs

1/4 Cup Quick Keto Ketchup (Click Here For Recipe)

1/4 Cup Water

1/2 Cup Minced Onion

1 Tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce

1 Tsp Salt

1 Cup Crushed Plain Pork Rinds

2 Lbs Ground Beef  (We used 1 pound of 73% Lean Beef & 1 pound 85% Lean Beef)

Directions ~ 

Beat eggs in a large bowl. Blend in ketchup, water, onions, Worcestershire sauce & salt. 

Mix in pork rinds. With a fork, mix in ground beef with the other ingredients. 

Mold into loaf pan and cover in foil. Place in cake pan if you think it may overflow. Bake at 350 degrees for about an hour until juices run clear nd it's no longer pink inside. You may have to drain the liquid half way though cooking time. As soon as it's done, remove the foil and coat the top and sides of loaf with quick keto ketchup and turn over to broil. 

See our Quick Ketchup recipe for an alternative to store bought ketchup. It's also less carbs! 

Change it Up - We are going to add bacon and cheese to the top of the meatloaf rather then the ketchup next time. My kids like the Quick Ketchup in the meat loaf but not so much on top as it had a strong vinegar taste. Both my husband and I like it that way, but the kids, not so much. So change it up if you have kids or you prefer to try something different. That's the fun part about cooking at home!
