Ingredients
  

  • ● 2 lb. Ground beef
  • ● 1 Egg beaten
  • ● ½ c. Pork rind crumbs
  • ● 1 Small onion chopped
  • ● 1 tsp. Garlic powder
  • ● 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
  • ● Salt and pepper to taste
  • ● 3 tbsp. Tomato paste
  • ● 1 ¼ c. Shredded mozzarella cheese divided
  • ● ¼ c. Low carb marinara sauce

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 pounds of ground beef with one small chopped onion.
  • Add in a beaten egg and a ⅓ of a cup of pork rinds that have been made into very fine crumbs. You can break up the pork rinds by placing them in a Ziploc bag, and using a rolling pin to crush them into crumbs.
  • Mix in 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, plus salt and pepper to taste.
  • Place 3 tablespoons of tomato paste into the bowl, and mix the ingredients together well. You will get the best results by mixing with your hands.
  • Form the meat mixture into two smaller oval shaped loaves. This will help them cook more quickly and evenly.
  • Make a divet down the center of each oval loaf of meat. Place a ½ cup of mozzarella cheese into the center of each meatloaf, and close the extra meat up over it, so that the cheese is stuffed into the center of the loaves.
  • Top the meatloaves with a ¼ of a cup of low carb marinara sauce.
  • Bake the meatloaves in a casserole dish for 30 minutes. Remove the meatloaves, and top with ¼ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. Return them to the oven and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the meat is cooked through.
