Introduction to Keto Meatloaf
This recipe is straightforward and easy to make. In addition to the ingredients listed, you will also need a mixing bowl, spatula, and loaf pan. This is really handy to help you get the meatloaf out of the pan, but it isn’t required.
Mixing the Seasonings
In a medium to large size mixing bowl combine the chopped onion, parsley, garlic, eggs, apple sauce, almond flour, and spices. Mix the ingredients until completely combined.
Adding the Beef
Put the ground beef in the bowl with the seasonings, and mix until everything is well combined. This can be difficult to do with a spatula or spoon. If you need to use your hands to mix the ingredients. Remember, the key to a moist meatloaf is to make sure the wet ingredients are mixed well with the beef.
Adding Mixture to Pan
Place the beef mixture in the loaf pan and smooth the meatloaf until it is flat on top. I love to use this loaf pan that has a handy tray. This means you can easily pull the meatloaf out of the dish, but it also helps to ensure the grease is drained away from the meatloaf. It is perfect for ensuring you aren’t serving a greasy dish.
Making the Sauce
Next, you need to make the sauce that spreads over the top of the meatloaf. Some meatloaf sauces are super sweet because they are ketchup based. This sauce isn’t overly sweet. Instead it has a great savory flavor that really compliments the meat. To make the sauce add all of the sauce ingredients together in a bowl, and whisk to combine.
Topping with Sauce and Baking
The final step is to spread the sauce over the top of the meatloaf and bake! Put the meatloaf in a 375 degrees F to the center of the oven and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the meat is 165F in the middle. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest on a wire rack for 15-20 minutes before cutting and serving.
