Low Carb Meatloaf Recipe

Meatloaf is a great food to include in a low carbohydrate diet. This recipe is low carb and Atkin's diet friendly. Many low carb food don't appeal to me taste wise, but this particular meatloaf recipe tastes great-my kids even like it.

Low Carb Meatloaf Recipe Ingredients

• 1 pound ground chuck
• 1/2 pound ground pork
• 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/8 cup chicken broth (no sugar added)
• 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon paprika (Spanish)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

Low Carb Meatloaf Directions

Warm oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl making sure to mix them well. Shape into a large loaf.

Place low carb meatloaf into a 9x5x2 inch baking pan.

Bake this Atkin's diet friendly meatloaf until an internal temperature of 160 degrees is reached. Time will vary according to oven make.

Cook's Note:

Make sure you pay close attention to the sugar content of your chicken broth. You want to purchase a broth that has no sugar added. Many low carbohydrate recipes can easily sidetrack your low carb or Atkin's diet if you don't pay special attention to the hidden sugar content of the recipe ingredients.
