Recipe by: Christel Oerum of Diabetes Strong
Makes 14 servings
Prep Time: 10 minutes; Cook Time: 1 hour; Cooling Time: 10 minutes; Total Time: 34 minutes

Ingredients for the Meatloaf

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • ½ cup onion (diced)
  • 4-5 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
  • ½ cup flax seed meal
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 ounces tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon fresh black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons almond flour (as needed)
  • Fresh thyme (for garnish)

Ingredients for the Glace

  • ¾ cup low-carb ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon Stevia (or other sweetener)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a loaf pan well.
  2. In a pan over medium heat, sauté the onion until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, then remove from heat.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add the sautéed onion and garlic along with the ground beef, liquid smoke, flax seed meal, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
  4. Mix the ingredients well, but be careful not to over-mix so the meatloaf will still have some texture. If the mixture seems too wet, you can add up to 2 tablespoons of almond flour as needed.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the loaf pan.
  6. Bake the meatloaf for 40 minutes.
  7. In a small bowl, add all of the ingredients for the glaze and mix until smooth.
  8. Spread the tomato glaze over the meatloaf.
  9. Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for another 30 minutes until completely cooked through.
  10. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and allow it to stand for 15 minutes.
