low carb meatloaf
 

a friend gave me this recipe she has been doing atkins for over 3 months now and i just wanted to share it with you. its really yummie.

1 1/2 pound of ground beef
1 egg
1/2 cup of parmesan cheese grated
1 cup of sliced mushrooms
1 tbsp 1% or 2% milk
salt and pepper to taste

mix all ingredients very well
bake in a loaf pan at 350 degrees for one hour

enjoy! :wave:

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)

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.

I bought this magazine with recipes..
 

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...
