Low Carb Keto Meatloaf Recipe

Winter is here and now is the time to look for yummy home cooked meal recipes. I don’t know about you but I was running out of good meal options and wanted to find another use for ground meat. I decided meat loaf sounded good and came up with an awesome concoction of yummyness!

To be honest I googled and came up with some good options but decided to mix and match to make it more of my own version. Meatloaf is awesome because basically you brown meat and then throw spices in it! Not real hard and you do not have to be perfect but below is what I used for mine. My meatloaf had more of an Italian flare to it. Enjoy!

  • Put the meat and all ingredients except the tomato sauce and parmesan cheese into a bowl.  You can use clean hands to mix it well together. Fold the eggs first into the meat with a spatula and then add in the other ingredients and fold them well together. Get it mixed really well!
    2.) Once all items are mixed together spread it into a baking pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray. (I used tin foil on mine and it worked great!) flatten the mixture inside the pan evenly.
    3.) After you have mixed all the ingredients together and flattened into the greased pan, pour the tomato sauce on top and garnish with the cheese.
    4.) Bake at 400 degrees for about 40-60 mins.

Low Carb-Keto Pepperoni Pizza Recipe

Low carb pizza

I am currently on a low carb keto style diet, meaning I am eating low carb and keeping under 32 net carbs daily. I am not a strict keto, more of a lazy keto person but this diet and way of eating really works. I am noticing a difference in my energy and the way I am not having as much joint pain or swelling in my hands and feet. So I will do more in depth posts on my keto journey in the future. Now let’s get on to the main event, pizza! My favorite thing to do is to eat all the food that I love but to find a healthier low carb version of it. I found this recipe online and made it my own. You can get very creative with this but yesterday I made a very simple pepperoni pizza. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

Low carb tortillas – 1 to 2
( I used the Mission brand) 4-8carbs per tortilla depending on the size you use. I use the smaller ones and flour.

Tomato sauce of choice – 1 to 2 table spoons
(I use a pizza sauce from the Dollar Tree) a bit higher in carbs. Will switch out next time for a better option. You can also use olive oil and not use a tomato sauce at all.

Mozzarella Cheese- 1/4 cup or one full handful.

Pepperoni slices- 6 to 8 slices
(You can use regular or Turkey, read the package and try to stick to the amount of one serving per pizza).

Optional Seasonings: pepper, dried onion flakes, red pepper flakes.

Directions:

Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce on each tortilla. Using half of the cheese spread it around each tortilla. Add the pepperoni slices to each pizza and then layer the final amount of cheese on top of both tortillas. Season the pizzas with pepper, onion flakes and red pepper flakes.

Place the pizzas inside the oven on the oven racks directly on 400 degrees for 8 minutes. You can also use a baking sheet and place the pizzas on there, be sure to grease the pans and cook for around 12 to 15 minutes based on your oven’s cooking.

I hope you enjoy this recipe! Each pizza should be anywhere from 4 to 8 net carbs per pizza based on tortillas and sauces used.
