The BEST Keto Meatloaf Recipe

Whether you’re a fan of meatloaf or not – this Keto meatloaf recipe will knock your socks off! It’s easy, delicious and extra juicy. This is a favorite weeknight dinner with our family. It’s kid approved and mom and dad love it, too!

My husband and I went Keto and low carb late last summer. It has been an incredible change for our personal health journey’s. But it did mean we needed to find keto friendly recipes for our favorite meals.

We both love meatloaf, but didn’t want traditional ingredients that would blow our allowed carbs for each day. Good news – this recipe was by far the best one out of all the other meatloafs we’ve ever tried. It’s extremely juicy, low in carbs, simple to make and the entire family devours it!

If you’re not a meatloaf fan, this recipe will convert you into one. The almond flour I add even gives a little crisp to the meatloaf that is Devine.

For being less than 5 carbs per serving, you won’t believe how juicy this meatloaf is. Make sure to send this recipe to your fellow meatloaf lover or your spouse as a dinner idea!

FOR MEATLOAF
2 lbs ground beef
▪️1 medium onion finely chopped
▪️2 cloves garlic minced
▪️2 large eggs
▪️1/4 cup sugar free ketchup (I use Primal Kitchen Foods)
▪️1/4 unsweetened coconut milk
▪️3/4 cup almond flour or keto bread crumbs
▪️1 teaspoon salt
▪️1 teaspoon pepper

FOR GLAZE
▪️1 cup sugar free ketchup
▪️1 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
▪️2 tablespoons brown sugar substitute (I used golden monk fruit)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, add all Meatloaf ingredients. Mix them all together. Place the meat mixture into a non-stick loaf pan. I used my Caraway loaf pan from their baking set.

P.s. if you haven’t invested in a Caraway cooking set – 2024 is the year to do it! You won’t regret it. Use my code MARISSAMACE_10 to save!

Shape it for it fits into the pan then place in the oven for 30 minutes. At 30 minutes, take the loaf out and spread the glaze on top. Then bake for 15 more minutes. Let it sit for 5-ish minutes before serving to soak up the juices. ENJOY!

P.s. for my green beans, I coated them in a light avocado oil, sprinkled salt, pepper and garlic powder 👌🏻 baked for 20 minutes at 375 degrees. I baked them on my Caraway baking sheet for easy clean up!

Can’t wait for you to try!

The Best Keto Broccoli Soup

I’m always looking for a low carb, keto-friendly meal. This soup is perfect for all my fellow cheese and keto lovers. It’s simple and delicious.

As I was cooking the soup, it was a gloomy, rainy day – naturally, I was craving a warm cozy soup for dinner. Other recipes call for flour and whole milk which are high in carbs and not gluten free.

It’s quite the process to find a good recipe for me. I need it to be low carb and gluten free. I’ve been gluten free for almost five years now and have it nailed down – but I’m still always searching for tasty low carb/keto options.

I started my low carb journey mid-2023 and it has made a world of difference for me. I feel better, my diabetes blood work is normal and as an added bonus, I’ve lost a little weight. It just works really well with my body!

After picking apart other recipes and made my own keto and gluten free broccoli cheese soup recipe. This keto broccoli cheese soup recipe will take you about 25 minutes to make. BONUS: it is kid approved!

I used my Caraway dutch oven to make the cheesy soup. I am absolutely obsessed with my Caraway cookware set. It’s non-toxic, nonstick and makes for easy clean up, too! Learn all about my obsession with Caraway in my recent blog post.

Here’s the ingredients you’ll need to make this creamy broccoli soup:

  • 1.5 tablespoons of butter
  • 1/2 chopped onion
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 3 cups of low sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups of heavy cream
  • 4 cups of finely chopped broccoli
  • 1/2 teaspoon of paprika
  • 1 teaspoon of pepper
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 4 cups of sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)

How to make:

  1. In a pot, melt your butter and sauté your chopped onions and garlic until translucent.
  2. Next, add your chicken broth, heavy cream and broccoli. Then add you paprika, pepper and salt and bring it to a boil. Once it is at a light boil, add your cheddar cheese little batches at a time so it can start blending in to the soup.
  3. Simmer for about 20 minutes to thicken the soup up. Once the soup is nice and creamy, it is ready to serve!

Yes, it is as simple as that! I’m not a fancy recipe gal – I like easy and delicious. I work full time so I make sure my recipes are family friendly and under 30-ish minutes.
