Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs ground beef (80/20 recommended)
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce (check for low sugar/carb version)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • For the Glaze:
  • 1/2 cup sugar free ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon erythritol or preferred keto sweetener

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard loaf pan or prepare a baking sheet for free-form baking.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, heavy cream, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add the Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard to the mixture.
  4. Use your hands to gently mix all ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the meatloaf tough.
  5. Shape the mixture into a loaf shape and place it in the prepared pan or on the baking sheet.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar free ketchup, apple cider vinegar, and keto sweetener for the glaze.
  7. Spread half of the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
  8. Bake for 40 minutes.
  9. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and spread the remaining glaze over the top.
  10. Return to the oven and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  11. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For a crispier exterior, bake the meatloaf free-form on a foil-lined baking sheet instead of in a loaf pan.
  • If you do not have almond flour, you can substitute crushed pork rinds for a similar binding effect.
  • To make this recipe ahead, prepare the loaf completely, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Add 10 minutes to the initial baking time if cooking from cold.
