Full Recipe:
For the Meatloaf:
2 lbs ground beef (80/20 blend)
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 large eggs
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
3/4 cup almond flour or crushed pork rinds
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup sugar free ketchup (optional, for glazing)
For the Glaze (optional):
1/4 cup sugar free ketchup
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Meat Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, eggs, almond milk, almond flour or crushed pork rinds, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Shape the Meatloaf: Transfer the meat mixture into a loaf pan or shape it into a loaf on a lined baking sheet.
Prepare the Glaze (optional): In a small bowl, mix together the sugar-free ketchup, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Brush this glaze over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake: Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Rest and Serve: Once baked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps retain its juices and makes for cleaner slices.
