A Meatloaf to Please Every Palate from Kids to Kings AND It Is Low-Carb and Gluten-Free!
Meatloaf Ingredients
Assemble all your ingredients first.
2 lb ground beef
8-oz can tomato sauce
3 or 4 tbsp tamari sauce (soy is fine, if you are not avoiding gluten)
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp dried parsley
salt & pepper to taste
3 or 4 cloves garlic, minced very fine
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 to 3/4 cup Parmesan, Romano, or other shaker-style cheese (or combine!)
1 slice uncooked bacon, finely chopped
Meatloaf Ingredients
"Yes, Parmesan or Romano cheese replaces the usual breadcrumbs or crackers in this meatloaf!"
"It is delicious and brings meatloaf back to the table for low-carbers & those who can't eat gluten."

Much Lower Carbs, but Not Carb-Free

The ketchup in the recipe is replaced with no-sugar tomato sauce; the ketchup or gravy on top is replaced with cheese; and the breadcrumbs are eliminated completely for a significant reduction in carb count.

- I usually don't like meatloaf, but this was amazing. It was even good as leftovers the next day! If only I had had low carb bread, I coulda had a meatloaf sandwich. I will definitely make this again.

- Just tried this recipe, as one who can cook and bake gourmet foods but can not cook a meatloaf to save my life, I did not have all the seasonings so I used a meatloaf seasoning pack from the store. This recipe has redeemed my cooking abilities in comfort food and even made my Chef wife nod in approval. Thanks so much
