Meatloaf always takes me back to my childhood. My mom would cook dinner for us most nights and meatloaf was a go to. I loved her take on the classic dish – and even today, it’s still one of my favorites.
This recipe sends me back to those days, but we’ve taken it up a level to help you stick to the keto diet. Barbecue sauce is a favorite among people, but more times than not it is loaded down with sugar in some form.
That’s the stuff we’re trying to stay away from on keto.
A delicious sugar-free barbecue sauce comes together quickly and tops a delicious meatloaf for a keto meal you won’t soon forget. Serve with some mashed cauliflower on the side for a filling meal that will leave you feeling full and satiated.
This makes a great dinner you can have on the table in less than two hours. And if you’re lucky, they’ll even be leftovers for the next morning. Fingers crossed!

For the meatloaf, put all of the ingredients in a large bowl and mix by hand until just combined. Lay a large piece of foil on a clean surface and transfer the meat mixture to it.
