Best Easy Low Carb Keto Italian Meatloaf Recipe

My hubby loves a hearty meatloaf, and since I'm Italian, I had to create my own spin on the traditional meatloaf. My whole family loves how tender this meatloaf is and how delicious the leftovers are for lunches.

Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef grass-fed (80/20)
2 eggs beaten
1/2 cup onion grated
1/2 cup pork rind panko
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup low carb marinara sauce divided, plus more for serving if desired
1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese part-skim
2 cloves garlic minced
2 tbsp parsley fresh, chopped
2 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese plus more for garnish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet pan with parchment paper.
Place the ground beef, eggs, onion, pork panko, cream and 1/4 cup marinara sauce to a large bowl and mix gently with your hands to combine together. Gently mix in the mozzarella, garlic, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
Please note; over mixing will compact the meat too much and make it tough.
Scoop the meat mixture onto prepared baking sheet pan. Shape into a loaf that is 8 inches long by 4 inches wide and 2 inches thick.
Bake for 45 minutes then remove and top with remaining 1/4 cup marinara sauce and Parmesan cheese. Bake another 10-15 minutes or until an internal thermometer in the center of the loaf registers 165 degrees F.
Allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with additional marinara sauce, parmesan cheese and fresh parsley if desired.
