🧂 Ingredients
For the Meatloaf:
-

-
2 eggs
-
1/4 cup grated beef liver (optional for nutrients)
-
1/2 cup grated aged cheese (cheddar or Parmesan, optional)
-
1/4 cup pork rinds, crushed (optional binder — carnivore-friendly)
-
1 tsp sea salt
-
1/2 tsp black pepper
-
1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional — for less strict carnivores)
Carnivore “Glaze”:
-
2 tbsp beef tallow (or butter)
-
2 tbsp sugar-free ketchup (or use pure tomato paste if tolerated)
-
1 tsp apple cider vinegar (optional — may be omitted for strict carnivore)
-
Pinch of salt
💡Strict Carnivore? Omit ketchup, vinegar, and garlic. Just use tallow + salt for a rich meat glaze.
🔧 Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan or line a baking tray with parchment.
-
Mix the meatloaf:
In a large bowl, combine all meatloaf ingredients. Mix by hand or with a spoon just until evenly combined — don’t overmix. -
Form the loaf:
Shape into a loaf in the pan or freeform on the tray. -
Apply glaze (first layer):
Melt the beef tallow and mix with the ketchup (if using). Brush half the glaze over the meatloaf. -
Bake:
Place in the oven and bake for 40 minutes. -
Glaze again:
After 40 minutes, brush the remaining glaze over the meatloaf. Return to oven and bake another 15–20 minutes, or until internal temp reaches 160°F (71°C). -
Rest & slice:
Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with parsley if you’re less strict.
