Ingredients
Scale
2 lbs ground beef (80/20 recommended)
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 cup crushed pork rinds
1 large egg
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup onion, finely minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (check for low sugar/carb)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup ketchup or low-carb tomato paste for glaze
2 tablespoons brown sugar substitute (granular) for glaze
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar for glaze
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard loaf pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper if you prefer a free-form loaf.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, crushed pork rinds, egg, heavy cream, minced onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
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 tomato paste, brown sugar substitute, and apple cider vinegar 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 to the oven and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a richer flavor, substitute half the ground beef with ground pork or veal.
If you do not have pork rinds, you can use an extra 1/4 cup of almond flour, but the texture may be slightly denser.
This recipe freezes well; slice before freezing for easy reheating.
