Keto Meatloaf with Chorizo and Bacon
My husband travels quite a bit. Last year he tried some meatloaf that had chorizo in it, and he liked it enough to tell me how amazing it was. Well, if he likes something that much, I feel a need to try and recreate it at home if I can. I started playing in the kitchen and have made this recipe several times. It is pretty forgiving since it’s just meatloaf, so don’t worry a whole lot about exact measurements.
Keto Meatloaf with Chorizo and Bacon
This makes around 12 4-ounce servings. In reality, it's hard to only eat 4 ounces of this, so I calculated 8 servings.
Ingredients
- 2 lb ground beef
- 9 oz chorizo beef or pork
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic chopped
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated (from the green can)
- 1 tbsp heavy cream or almond milk
- 1/2 tsp Onion powder
- 1/4 tsp Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Cumin
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire
- 1 tbsp Pizza sauce May sub ketchup or BBQ sauce here
- 1 egg
- 1 pound Bacon raw (enough to cover meatloaf)
Glaze
- 2 tbsp reduced sugar ketchup I like Heinz Reduced Sugar
- 2 tbsp sugar-free BBQ sauce I like G. Hughes Sugar Free Hickory
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/8 tsp Black pepper
- 1/2 tsp Cumin
- 1 tbsp Yellow mustard
- 1/2 tsp Molasses
- 1 tbsp sugar substitute of choice equivalent to 1 tablespoon sugar
Instructions
-
Saute onion and garlic until tender. Combine with all other meatloaf ingredients except bacon. Mix well, shape into flat loaf and place into foil lined pan. I use a baking pan, not a loaf pan so I can make a thinner loaf. Cover with strips of bacon. Bake at 350 for 50 minutes to 1 hour (should test 160 degrees in center). Time will vary depending on how thick you shaped the loaf. Before glazing, carefully spoon off the fat that has rendered and discard.
-
Combine all glaze ingredients well and brush over meatloaf. Bake 10 minutes or until glaze is slightly thickened.
-
Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
