Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 0.5 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 unit large egg
- 0.5 cups onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 cups sugar-free ketchup
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard loaf pan with oil or nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, egg, diced onion, minced garlic, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, dried oregano, dried basil, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands or a spatula to mix until evenly combined.
Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down gently and shaping it into a loaf.
Spread the sugar-free ketchup evenly over the top of the meat loaf using the back of a spoon or a pastry brush.
Place the loaf pan on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Once cooked, remove the meat loaf from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Carefully transfer the meat loaf to a cutting board or platter, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and slice into portions.
Serve warm with your favorite low-carb sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
