Ingredients
Scale
2 lbs ground beef (80/20 recommended)
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 large egg
1/4 cup onion, finely minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (check for low sugar/carb version)
1/4 cup ketchup or sugar-free ketchup substitute (for glaze)
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (for glaze)
1 tablespoon erythritol or preferred keto sweetener (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a loaf pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper for a free-form loaf.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, heavy cream, egg, minced onion, minced garlic, salt, pepper, Parmesan cheese, and Worcestershire sauce.
Mix the ingredients gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the meatloaf tough.
Shape the mixture into a loaf shape and place it in the prepared pan or on the baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup or substitute, apple cider vinegar, and sweetener to create the glaze.
Spread half of the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake for 45 minutes.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and brush the remaining glaze over the top.
Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For an extra moist texture, you can substitute the heavy cream with 1/4 cup of sour cream.
If you do not have almond flour, you can use 1/2 cup of crushed pork rinds as a binder.
To make this recipe without a loaf pan, shape the meat mixture into a free-standing loaf on a foil-lined baking sheet.
