Another bonus with this recipe is that it is great for meal prep. I have been trying to be really good about making menus and sticking to them.
That is not only good for sticking to a low carb lifestyle by avoiding last minute bad decisions (that I am the Queen of), but it is helpful for shopping so we don’t buy more than we need.
So I make a menu, write out my list, hubs does the shopping on his way home from work, and then I pick a day to get the meals prepped for the upcoming week.
This meatloaf recipe is perfect for that.
When I am making it for meal prep I just pop it into a loaf pan, wrap it with foil, and place it into the freezer for later that week. Then I take it out of the freezer the day before and put it in the fridge to defrost, turn it out onto a sheet pan (Tip – line your sheet pan with foil, I obviously forgot to do that here), and pop it into the oven.
Another tip, check the internal temperature after cooking to make sure it is at least 135 degrees F. After carryover cooking it will be a nice medium.

I love using ground beef. Not only for ease of meal prep, but because it is budget friendly, and perfect for keto recipes.
Keto is all about low carb, high fat, moderate protein. Ground beef fits into that perfectly. I am always on the lookout for ground beef on sale, and if I can find grass-fed ground beef on sale? Woohoooo!
