Why You’ll Love This Recipe

It’s a classic comfort food made keto-friendly.

Almond flour keeps the texture moist while keeping carbs low.

It’s simple to prepare and great for meal prep.

What You’ll Need (Ingredient Highlights)

Tomato paste and Worcestershire bring tang and umami.

Eggs help bind the mixture together.

Ground beef provides richness and protein.

Sugar-free ketchup is optional but adds a nice glaze on top.

Pro Tips Before You Start

Do not overmix the meat mixture—this keeps it tender.

Line your pan with parchment or lightly grease it for easy slicing.

Always rest the meatloaf before cutting so the juices redistribute.

Use a probe thermometer to check doneness—160°F is perfect.

How to Make Meatloaf Low Carb

Step 1 – Preheat the oven

Set oven to 350°F (177°C) so it’s ready when your loaf is shaped.

Step 2 – Mix the ingredients

In a bowl, combine almond flour, onion, garlic, tomato paste, Worcestershire, eggs, herbs, salt, and pepper.

Mix well.

Step 3 – Add the beef

Fold in the ground beef until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 4 – Shape and bake

Transfer mixture to a baking dish and form into a loaf.

Bake 30 minutes.

Step 5 – Add topping

Spread sugar-free ketchup on top if using.

Bake another 25–45 minutes until the internal temp is 160°F.

Step 6 – Rest and slice

Let meatloaf rest 10 minutes before slicing. This ensures juiciness.

What to Serve Them With

Pair with roasted vegetables like broccoli or asparagus.

Serve alongside mashed cauliflower for a classic pairing.

Add a simple green salad for freshness.

Variations / Substitutions

Use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef for a lighter version.

Replace almond flour with ground pork rinds for extra flavor.

Skip the ketchup topping if you prefer a more savory crust.

Storage & Leftovers

Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Freeze slices individually for up to 2 months.

Reheat gently in the oven or microwave until warm.
