Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cups Almond flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 cups Low-carb ketchup (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, eggs, onion, garlic, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatloaf dense.
Lay a sheet of parchment paper on a flat surface and spread the meat mixture into a rectangular shape, about 1/2 inch thick.
Spread the softened cream cheese evenly across the center of the rectangle, leaving about a 1-inch border along the edges.
Using the parchment paper to help guide you, carefully roll the meat mixture into a loaf, enclosing the cream cheese as the center. Seal the edges and ends to prevent leaking during cooking.
Transfer the meatloaf seam-side down into the prepared loaf pan.
Optional: Spread the low-carb ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf for added flavor and a glossy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve warm with a side of your favorite low-carb vegetables and enjoy!
