Tips For the Best Paleo Keto Meatloaf

• It’s important to let the meatloaf rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing. Make sure to use a sharp knife or a bread knife.
• My mom used to tell me to be gentle when combining the ingredients and always use my hands. If you want moist and tender meatloafthat doesn’t fall apart don’t overworkthe mixture of meat.
• You can always add more vegetables to the meat such as shredded zucchini, mushrooms, spinach or more onions. It’s a great way to include moreveggies in your daily meal plan and keep the meatloaf moist.
• Don’t skip the baking sauce. If you don’t have enough time to make, the baking sauce just tops the meatloaf with some sugar-free ketchup or with a sugar-free barbecue sauce. The acidity from the sauce will cut down the fatty taste.
• Don’t worry if there’s liquid excess after baking because that’s normal if you used high-fat ground beef. Just drain the liquid and enjoy a delicious meatloaf.

Low Carb Binder for Meatloaf

Most meatloaf recipes use breadcrumbs as a binder, but as you know that’s not low in carbs, and wheat flour is not keto-approved.

To make a meatloaf keto, I substituted the breadcrumbs with almond flour because to me it delivers a perfect texture. I prefer using almond flour over any other low carb even if it’s slightly expensive.

Some recipes call for coconut flour but I feel that coconut flour gives a slightly sweet taste and I am not a huge fan. Also using coconut flour can make the meatloaf dry if there isn’t enough liquid for it to absorb.

If you have a nut allergy and can’t use almond flour, you’ll get amazing results by using pork rinds or golden flax meal. The golden flaxseeds have a lighter taste and color than regular dark flaxseeds and are the lowest in carbs compared to other seeds. To make the flaxseed mealyou use a coffee grinder or a food processor.

How to Serve Keto Meatloaf

You can serve it with a side of creamy, buttery cauliflower mashed potatoes for a perfect comfortmeal or with some delicious roasted radishes. Or you can keep it simple and serve it with a green salad on the side.

The whole family will love it and ask for more. It’s our family’s latest favorite dinner to have!
