    Meatloaf With Sausage 

    Meatloaf is one of those recipes that reminds you of your childhood. It’s a classic meal that will definitely fill you up, every single time.

    It doesn’t take much effort to make it healthier. All I did was mix in some Italian sausage with the ground beef, and added some red and green bell peppers for nutrition and color. And to keep it low-carb (and gluten-free), I used pork rind crumbs instead of breadcrumbs. 

    It literally tastes like the meatloaf your mom used to make! 

    Keto Meatloaf 

    Meatloaf is one of the best recipes to make for your weekly meal prep! Not only does it store well, but it reheats really well, too!

    I suggest keeping it in an airtight food storage container in the refrigerator for up to three or four days. Then, reheat it in the microwave. 

    This recipe makes eight servings,  so you’ll have plenty to eat throughout the week. 

    Meatloaf With Green Peppers

    There are a lot of ways to customize this recipe and make it taste just how you want it to! If you want it to be spicier, add some jalapeno or habanero peppers and spicy Italian sausage.

    You can also make your own marinara sauce with tomato sauce and spices. If you use jarred marinara sauce, use the kind without any added sugar. My favorite brand is Rao’s homemade. 

    I used white onion, but yellow onion will work too. I suggest staying away from red onion because it tends to overpower the rest of the spices in the meatloaf. 

    What To Eat With Meatloaf 

    Serve this tasty meatloaf with your favorite sides. Some people like green beans with Italian foods, others prefer a chopped salad.

    I like to serve this meatloaf with some keto everything bagel bites or keto Italian breadsticks. I just love rolls and bread with my meatloaf, so I always make a low-carb version.  

    You could also make some low-carb butternut squash noodles to serve with it! They are a bit more work, but taste delicious. Kids love loaded cauliflower rice balls because they are so crispy that they don’t even know they are eating veggies. 

    Keto Meatloaf With Pork Rinds 

    Pork rinds are a staple in my house. Not only do they make a salty and crunchy snack, but you can use them in so many recipes. I love using them instead of breadsticks in crispy recipes like chicken pizza bites.

    They are also the perfect chip replacement and taste so good with some keto BLT dip.
