Equipment
- 1 1.5 QT glass loaf pan optional
Ingredients
For the Meatloaf
- 1 lb ground beef as lean or fatty as you prefer - leaner means less grease in the pan after cooking
- 1/2 lb ground pork
- 1 egg beaten with a fork
- 6 oz whole milk see notes below
- 2 oz heavy cream
- 1 cup pork rind panko store bought or crush your own
- 1 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp minced onion
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp ground mustard
For the Red Sauce
- 1 can tomato sauce 15 oz
- 1 tsp minced onion
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp butter softened
- 1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
- Combine all the ingredients very thoroughly in a large bowl
- Pack the mixture firmly into a greased loaf pan, if you don't have a loaf pan, you can form the loaf with your hands, it just may not be packed as tightly
- Grease the baking dish with butter (olive oil spray works as well)
- Turn the loaf pan over and let the meat slide into the baking dish
- Bake for 1 hour or until done (internal temperature of 160 degrees)
- While the meatloaf is cooking, combine all the ingredients for the red sauce and put in a saucepan
- When there is about 15 minutes left to cook on the meatloaf, simmer the sauce on the stove stirring occasionally until ready to serve with the meatloaf
- Slice the meatloaf* and serve with the red sauce
Notes
For a true keto recipe, you can probably use 8 oz of heavy cream and omit the milk. I did not try this, but with how moist this recipe turned out, I do think it will work. Let us know in the comments if you do try it and it works.
*There will be grease in the bottom of the meatloaf pan, you can remove the meatloaf and then cut it. I like to leave it in the grease for added flavor, especially if there are leftovers to reheat.
