Low Carb Plain Ole Meatloaf

Low Carb Plain Ole MeatloafLow Carb Plain Ole MeatloafLow Carb Plain Ole MeatloafLow Carb Plain Ole MeatloafLow Carb Plain Ole Meatloaf. And there is nothing plain about it.  The flavors and texture are just terrific. I call it plain ole as opposed to the Meatloaf Extraordinaire which is absolutely a stunning visual by comparison. This was another of my blue plate specials at the restaurant and it always sold out.  It was made in a 21×6½x4 inch hotel pan which held 6 quarts and I’m here to tell you that it was a lot of meatloaf. Served with mashed cauliflower and the thin gravy it makes?…Ooh la la. I typically make ½ recipe of Plain Ole Meatloaf with Ground Pork Rinds, I eat the ends first and then make 4 slices for later eating. That lovely little loaf dish hold 2 cups and with the serious mounding of the meat, it is perfect for 3 servings.

This recipe (altered to low carb) is the same one I have been making for nearly 50 years.  I mean how many newly weds can cook worth a hoot?  So this is what I grew up on and it’s what I have always loved…there is no ketchup topping and garlic is definitely a standout flavor.  If you have a favorite ketchup topping then by all means use it.  I don’t do this but putting bacon on top would also be good and please see Hot Crossed Bacon Meatloaf.  You can use Carbalose Bread crumbs but I now omit them and use Ground Pork Rinds.  If by chance you have any leftovers it makes a great sandwich on the bread recipe above.  I use my small glass loaf pan and it is the same one I use for the bread.  If you want to make a bigger meatloaf then adjust the ingredients accordingly and use a larger loaf pan.  I ask you now, who does not like a low carb plain ole meatloaf?
