Ingredients
Scale
2 lbs ground beef (80/20 recommended)
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 large egg
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup sugar free ketchup for glaze
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar for glaze
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard for glaze
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper for a free form loaf.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, almond flour, heavy cream, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix.
Shape the mixture into a loaf shape on your prepared pan or press it into the loaf pan.
Bake for 45 minutes.
While the meatloaf bakes, prepare the glaze. Whisk together the sugar free ketchup, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl.
After 45 minutes of baking, remove the meatloaf from the oven and spread the glaze evenly over the top.
Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For an even juicier texture, you can substitute the heavy cream with 1/4 cup of sour cream.
If you do not have almond flour, you can use crushed pork rinds as a binder instead.
This recipe freezes well after cooking; slice it first, then store in an airtight container.
