Bacon Cheeseburger Low Carb Meatloaf isn't your mama's meatloaf! Packed with flavor - but without the carbs - this will be a family favorite!
One of my family’s favorite go-to meals is meatloaf, especially if it’s stuffed meatloaf - loaded up with cheese and other goodies (like bacon).
However, as I have been on my keto journey I learned that while it seems easy to just cut out carbs they sometimes hide in your favorite dishes.
Did you know even some spice blends have a surprising amount of carbs? They show up in places you might not expect, especially if you are new to the low carb/keto game.
In traditional meatloaf, you might find them in your ketchup, breadcrumbs (that one is pretty obvious), mayo, mustard, and even in your bacon.

I have come to love this Low Carb Meatloaf that is a quick and easy weeknight meal but also perfect for meal prep for the week.
While portion sizes are not quite as important as the macros count, I still try to keep my portions reasonable - which is why I LOVE making meals like this in a muffin tin.
Plus it makes counting out and planning your day - if you do that - so much easier! I know exactly what is in each one - so it almost makes meal prep a breeze!
I just pop these little guys into a storage container along with my favorite Low Carb Veggies and voila!

How many did this recipe make, and what would the carb count be? (Am I missing that info from your post - I've re-read a few times to make sure - please forgive me if I'm overlooking the info!!)
These look delicious and I'm sure would be "family approved" with my bunch!

Rhonda says
Mini muffin tin or regular? How many does it serve?
Moscato Mom says
I used a regular size and divided it into six servings.
LL says
These look great. Are you supposed fry the bacon pieces before adding to the meat mixture?
Moscato Mom says
I did but that is because I like my bacon pretty crispy. You can do it either way (I have done both) the bacon is just ore chewy when it isn't cooked beforehand 🙂
ShellyT says
How many "muffins" does this recipe make?
Moscato Mom says
I divided it into six little personal sized portions.
Priscilla says

Mary says
So good!! A new favorite. My hubby loved it too and he is always so iffy about my keto recipes. Paired it with mashed cauliflower and a salad. Superb!!
Lynne says
I made these this evening for dinner. My husband and I both loved them! This dinner is definitely going to be repeated often!
Jessica Albino says
Hello. What can I use in place of bread crumbs that would still be keto friendly?
Jessica Albino says
sorry, I meant in place of pork rinds
Moscato Mom says
Hi! I have used the same measurement of both almond flour and grated parmesan when I have been out of pork rinds. I like the parmesan best because it gives it a bit more flavor. Almond flour is a bit more dry. 🙂
