Susan’s To Die For Low Carb Meatloaf

 

 

 

I told you that I cooked a lot  yesterday.

My husband asked me today if I had put more Jello Sugar Free Banana Pudding on the shopping list. :0)

He also raved about the meatloaf!  He asked me to put this recipe on the ones we do over and over again.

I got this recipe in the Low Carb section of a website called, “Christy Jordan’s Southern Plate.”

Susan’s To Die For Low Carb Meatloaf

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 envelope Onion Soup Mix
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/3 cup No Fructose Ketchup ( I used reduced sugar)
  • 3/4 cup crushed PORK RINDS (crush, then measure)
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 lb. ground chicken

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Using clean hands, mix together all ingredients in a large bowl until well blended.
  3. Place two ends from a loaf of bread, end to end, onto the surface of a 9″x13″ baking dish (I used hamburger buns)
  4. Form the meat mixture into a loaf, on top of the bread slices.
  5. Squeeze a little more ketchup on top of the meatloaf.
  6. Bake for 1 hour.
  7. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.

NOTES:

Susan’s Tips:

To take this meatloaf over the moon, heat each slice on a sizzling hot cast iron griddle skillet, putting a crusty sear on both sides! Peel off the bread from the bottom of the meatloaf and give it to your 4-legged children. Tails will wag and they will love you forever!

MY NOTES:

I used ground turkey instead of ground chicken. It came in a 3 lb. package, so I divided it roughly into thirds, freezing the other two pounds separately. I was a bit worried because the meat mixture was much softer than I’m used to having when forming the loaf. I went ahead and followed directions and it was REALLY, REALLY good. :0)

Wonderful Low Carb Sausage Ball Recipe

I found this recipe on Christy Jordan’s Southern Plate

I was looking for something for snacks, or a light lunch, or….. that was low carb and TASTY. I found it! Hooray for Christy!!!!

Low Carb Sausage Balls

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound pork breakfast sausage (Christy says, “spicy is great!” – but I used MILD because we’re weenies.) :0)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup almond meal
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, place all ingredients. Mix with an electric mixer until well combined.
  2. Use a cookie dough scoop or two spoons and spoon out onto lightly greased baking sheet.
  3. Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
  4. Makes about 30. Refrigerate leftovers. Reheat very well in microwave or oven.

Notes:

From Christy – *These freeze really well. These have about 1 carb each. Please calculate nutritional information on your own for accuracy.

From me – (I didn’t get 30 balls, but I just made them until all the ingredients were used. I think I’ll line the baking sheet with foil next time for easier clean up.

SPECIAL NOTES : These were absolutely delicious. We have an early ‘lunch’ on Fridays with friends after not eating breakfast, so we get hungry mid afternoon. My husband and I each ate 4 sausage balls. They were filling and YUMMY! I’m going to buy several pounds of sausage Sunday and will make a bunch of these for the freezer. This was EXACTLY what I was hoping for. Easy to make. YUMMY to eat as a snack or anytime.

Christy has a whole section of her website devoted to low carb recipes. I’m following her now, and will keep trying more of these as we have the time.
