FAQ’S

  • Ground beef is always the star of the show when it comes to meatloaf, but this is also excellent with ground bison.
  • You can use spicy or mild Italian sausage. You can even substitute a plain ground pork.
  • For this low carb meatloaf recipe, you can use 1 package Dry Onion Soup Mix. It’s optional if this causes issues for you. It’s simply for flavor.
  • If you do not have tomato paste, you can also use ketchup. Both make for a delicious meatloaf. I personally love ketchup. It does not cause gut issues for me. You can also use a sugar free. Go your own way.
  • Worcestershire is tangy, savory, sweet, and salty all at the same time and adds flavor. You can also use coconut aminos or soy sauce in its place. To make this a Whole30 meatloaf recipe, use coconut aminos.
  • The pork rinds in this meatloaf recipe act as a binder. If you do not have pork rinds, you can also substitute some grated parmesan cheese.

RECIPE TIPS & VARIATIONS

Storage: Store leftover meatloaf in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Make Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf: Add some chopped up crispy bacon and some sharp cheddar cheese into the meatloaf mix for a delicious cheeseburger variation.

Bacon Wrap it: After mixing the meatloaf, form it into a loaf and wrap it in bacon before putting it in the loaf pan.

Make BBQ Meatloaf: Instead of using tomato paste or ketchup in the mix and on top, swap it out for barbecue sauce. My fav is G Hughes Sugar Free BBQ Sauce

LOW CARB MEATLOAF KATIE KELLY LILBITOFFIT RECIPE CARNIVORE KETO

Can you make meatloaf without eggs? Eggs are also used as a binder, but do not add any flavor to the meatloaf. You can omit them and it will still be delicious. It just might not hold its shape as well.

Can you make meatloaf ahead of time?

Yes, absolutely. Sometimes I feel it tastes better the next day! You can freeze it as well.

Lilbitoffit’s Crispy Airfryer Meat Bars Recipe

meat bars recipe carnivore lilbitoffit

**Videos are saved in my highlights labeled “Meat Bars” on Instagram!

INGREDIENTS

  • 1-2 lb packages ground meat of choice
  • Salt &/or seasonings of choice
meat bars airfryer

I prefer a variety of meat, simply giving my body what it’s craving. Don’t care if it’s grass fed or grain fed. I prefer grain fed as far as taste, simply season with salt due to my sensitivities & Crohn’s. Season to taste however you’d like. I sprinkle the salt AFTER it’s cooked.

If you search the hastag #meatbars on Instagram people have posted tons of unique recipes!

DIRECTIONS

  • LOOSELY break up meat into 4-5 sections or “bars” & place in airfryer basket
  • Airfry, 12 minutes, 380,⁣ though the preheat. Every airfryer will be different.
  • Sprinkle salt to taste
  • meat bars airfryer

TIPS & FAQ

  • You MUST use an airfryer for the crispy texture. Baking will not give you the same product. It will be dryer and not as crispy.
  • Do not pack tightly into patties, again the crispy texture is created from NOT packing the meat tightly.
  • You can melt 1 tbsp of bacon grease or beef tallow & drizzle on top of cooked meat or put slices of bacon on top of meat pieces in air fryer before you air fry for extra flavor & fat.
  • You can use the fat in the bottom of the basket as a “dip” or “sauce” &/or for added flavor & fat.
  • You can season with your favorite seasonings & use your favorite sauces. Go your own way, you don’t have to do it the way that I do.
  • If you’re experiencing digestive issues, digestive enzymes will help! I take Utilyze by Nuethix Formulations 5-10 minutes prior to eating my meals. Discount Code: lilbitoffit
