My husband, who makes killer meatloaf, will tell you that it would be even better if you use about 2/3 of a lb of ground beef and then equal parts of ground pork and ground veal.

He has been talking about making a meat loaf - we haven't had it since before Atkins!

Thanks for the recipe.
My wife has been asking about how to make a Meatloaf via Atkins.

I was wondering what I could use insted of bread crumbs... Quick question my family are not huge mushroom fans. Any sub ideas?

Pork Rinds, the crumbs or get a bag and crush them.

You don't have to use anything. If your recipe contains a lot of liquid like tomato sauce, reduce the amount my 2/3 and add an extra egg. Mixing it vigorously will also help it to hang together.

Thank you! I love mushrooms so this recipe looks really good, so glad there is a low carb version of meatloaf. :)

I made a meatloaf with the Keto Crumbs. I used 1/4 cup of the crumbs, 1lb hamburger, 1/2 lb ground pork, and 1/2 lb of ground lamb and one egg.

It was great and the Keto Crumbs add about 5 carbs to the whole meatloaf.

I'd like to know how you can eat this meatloaf without creamed corn and baked potatoes?! Comfort food!!! Look closely at some of your comfort foods and you will see one of the reasons why we are all gathered here! LOL

I will be trying this soon- I just don't know what to serve with it??!! And what do you do with the leftovers if you can't have a sandwich with white bread?! (comfort foods again)

[justcindy]

You know I love bread so much but it can never taste good enough to make me give up on how much better I feel. Eventually I hope to have my bagel in the morning again but for now, I am fine eating my sandwiches on a plate. :)

:idea: I just saw a recipe using 2 zuccini cut up instead of mushrooms. I think I will use a little of both in mine tonight.

although some of them, I can't believe they call them low-carb!! (22carb???) (It's a Diabetic Cooking magazine)

Anyhoo, they had this meatloaf recipe, I haven't tried it yet...

Can I have meatloaf on induction? My wife had thought about putting some Tomatoe paste on top of the meatloaf also. Is that allowed?

[angelswed]

1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated
1 cup of slice mushrooms

Instead of tomato paste you can use Salsa. It's lower carb than the paste and it's really good. I always put it in my meatloaf.

[zedgirl]

I make 'the chef's favourite meatloaf' from the www.carb-lite.au.com site.....it's great.
I also sub the ground beef/pork with ground chicken/veal, add some chicken spices and it's even better.

I made this last night. It was the best meatloaf I've ever had. I put heavy cream in for the milk and topped it with atkins barbecue sauce. Its very hearty and heavy so I felt stuffed on a small serving. For me it will make about 10 servings. I will be making this all the time- its easier to make than a hamburger and it tastes better.

[nawchem]

I plugged the numbers into fitday

For the whole meatloaf: 6 net carbs

When I added the atkins BBQ sauce per serving for 10 servings:
201 calories, 67% fat, 1.1 carbs

Here's one we make pretty regularly. I think next time i'll try it with some added ground pork tho, that would be yummy! For variety at times, i'll add a bit of chopped onion, mushrooms or any veggie that calls me at the time. Always works great!!

Mozzarella Meatloaf

3 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 cup spicy V-8 juice or tomato sauce (i buy the lowest carb i can find)
1/2 tsp. ground oregano
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. freshly cracked pepper
1/2 tsp. garlic salt
2 pounds lean ground beef
8 oz. thinly sliced mozzarella cheese, diced (save 2 slices for the topping)
2 tbsp tomato sauce or low carb ketchup
3 tbsp. Parmesan cheese, divided

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients except cheeses and 2 tbsp tomato sauce. Divide meat mixture in half. Shape half of the meat into a flattened oval in the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch glass dish. Top with diced cheese; spread to within 1 inch of the edge. Sprinkle with 2 tbsp. of Parmesan cheese. Top with remaining meat mixture; seal edge by pressing together. Spread top of meat with tomato sauce/ketchup; sprinkle lightly with additional garlic salt, pepper, and salt. Bake 1 hour. Top with sliced cheese, sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese, and return to oven until cheese melts. Allow to sit 5 - 10 minutes before slicing.
