Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a standard 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 lbs of ground beef and 1 cup of finely ground blanched almond flour.
3. Add the 1/2 cup of unsweetened tomato sauce, 1/4 cup of finely diced yellow onion, and 2 large lightly beaten pasture-raised eggs to the bowl.
4. Incorporate the 2 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce, 1 tbsp of Dijon mustard, 2 tsp of kosher salt, 1 tsp of freshly cracked black pepper, 1 tsp of dried oregano, and 1/2 tsp of garlic powder.

– A quarter cup of sugar-free ketchup, plus a little extra for the top
– A tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
– A small yellow onion, finely chopped
– Two cloves of garlic, minced
– A teaspoon of dried oregano
– Salt and black pepper to your liking
– A head of cauliflower, cut into florets
– A quarter cup of heavy cream
– Two tablespoons of butter
– A splash of olive oil for the pan
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a loaf pan with that splash of olive oil.
2. In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, egg, almond flour, a quarter cup of sugar-free ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, chopped onion, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper until just combined—overmixing can make the meatloaf dense.
3. Press the mixture firmly into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with your hands or a spatula.
4. Spread the extra sugar-free ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf for a nice glaze.
5. Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center reads 160°F.
6. While the meatloaf bakes, place the cauliflower florets in a pot, cover them with water, and bring to a boil over high heat.
7. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer the cauliflower for 10 to 12 minutes, until it’s fork-tender.
8. Drain the cauliflower well and return it to the pot—letting excess water steam off for a minute helps avoid a watery puree.
9. Add the heavy cream and butter to the pot with the cauliflower.
10. Use an immersion blender or food processor to puree the mixture until smooth and creamy, seasoning with salt and pepper as you go.
11. Once the meatloaf is done, let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.
12. Serve slices of the meatloaf alongside generous scoops of the warm cauliflower puree.
A rich, savory meatloaf pairs perfectly with that velvety puree, creating a comforting texture that’s anything but boring. Try topping leftovers with a fried egg for a next-day brunch twist, or crumble it into a salad for a protein-packed lunch.
Cajun Keto Meatloaf with Peppers
Picture this: you’re craving something hearty and flavorful, but you’re sticking to a keto lifestyle. This Cajun-inspired meatloaf, packed with colorful peppers, is about to become your new go-to comfort food—it’s easy, satisfying, and full of zesty kick.
Serving: 6 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 60 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 pounds of ground beef (I like 80/20 for juiciness)
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup of almond flour
- 1/4 cup of heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup of diced onion
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- A splash of hot sauce (optional, for extra heat)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with a bit of olive oil.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the diced onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper for about 5-7 minutes, until they’re softened and slightly caramelized. Tip: Don’t rush this—letting the veggies cook down adds sweetness and depth to the meatloaf.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, beaten egg, almond flour, heavy cream, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined—overmixing can make the meatloaf tough.
- Fold in the sautéed peppers and onion mixture until evenly distributed throughout the meat mixture.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down firmly to remove any air pockets and shape it evenly.
- Brush the top of the meatloaf with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to help it brown nicely in the oven.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) when checked with a meat thermometer. Tip: Insert the thermometer into the center for an accurate read—this ensures it’s cooked through without drying out.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Tip: Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making each slice moist and tender.
- If using, drizzle a splash of hot sauce over the top for an extra kick before serving.
Ready to dig in? This meatloaf comes out juicy and firm, with a bold Cajun spice that’s balanced by the sweet peppers. Serve it sliced thick with a side of creamy cauliflower mash or over a fresh green salad for a complete keto meal—it reheats beautifully for leftovers, too!
Keto Meatloaf with Tarragon and Mustard
Tired of the same old meatloaf? This keto version with tarragon and mustard is a game-changer—it’s juicy, flavorful, and totally low-carb. You’ll love how the herbs and tangy mustard come together in every bite.
Serving: 6 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 60 minutes

– 2 large eggs
– 1/2 cup of almond flour

– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon of salt
– 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
– A splash of olive oil for greasing
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Lightly grease a loaf pan with a splash of olive oil to prevent sticking.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, eggs, almond flour, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, chopped tarragon, diced onion, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
4. Mix everything together with your hands until just combined—overmixing can make the meatloaf tough.
5. Transfer the mixture to the greased loaf pan and press it down evenly.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) on a meat thermometer.
7. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes after baking—this helps the juices redistribute so it stays moist when sliced.
8. Slice and serve warm.
Here’s the best part: this meatloaf has a tender, almost creamy texture from the heavy cream, with a bright pop from the tarragon and a subtle kick from the mustard. Try serving it with a side of roasted veggies or crumbling leftovers into a salad for a quick keto lunch.
