FAQ’s

Can I use extra-lean ground beef in this recipe or other ground meats? I prefer 85/15 in this recipe. I tried extra-lean ground beef & felt it came out too dry/not as flavorful. If you’re using other ground meats, I suggest using higher fat meats like 75-85% ground lamb, pork, turkey or PERDUE ground chicken.

Do I need to cook the meat before adding to the pie? Yes, definitely! Cook the ground beef, then transfer to pie dish & bake. This recipe differs from meatloaf, where you bake the raw meat.

Can you freeze it? Yes. Once completely cool, you can store it in whatever container you prefer, then freeze for up to 3 months. You can also freeze individual slices in freezer bags.

Can I use other cheeses? YES! You can use another melty cheese instead of cheddar. I mean seriously all cheese is delicious, have fun with it! Provolone is good & Italian cheeses. You can also make it a more Mexican dish with different seasonings & a “taco” cheese mix.

How are leftovers? Leftovers keep well in the fridge, in an airtight container, for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave about 1 minute per slice. Sometimes I eat them cold the next day, but they do taste better when heated up imo. 

Can I airfry leftovers? I’ve also popped them in the airfryer for about 7 minutes at 380 for a little crisp. Times & temps will vary with airfryer. I have an Instant Vortex 6qt.

Enjoy!

Protein: 28g

MORE NOTES…

  • Carbs/serving: 6g
  • Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Make it Whole30: swap the Worcestershire sauce for coconut aminos & make sure that the beef bouillon powder you use to make the dry onion soup mix is compliant. You can use beef bone broth powder in its place.

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

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.

Tap to save post on Instagram!

INGREDIENTS

  • 1lb ground @perduechicken (yes the brand matters 👋 chicken snob. It tastes best)
  • 2oz cream cheese
  • 1 egg
  • Dash of salt (I rarely measure 👀)

DIRECTIONS 

  • Mix ground chicken, egg, cream cheese, & salt in a large bowl
  • Crush pork rinds up
  • Roll chicken into a “meatball” or use a spoon or scooper to scoop & coat the meatball with the crushed pork rinds (warning, it’s sticky af. That’s chicken for ya)
  • Place meatball or nugget (however you wanna shape your chicken) in the air fryer. Space evenly. Spray your basket if you need to.
  • Airfry for 10 mins at 400°
  • Flip your nuggs & cook for another 5-10 minutes at 400°, depending on your desired crispiness or texture. I like mine CRISPYYYY so I do 10.
  • ENJOY!!

Simple Cheesy Carnivore Meatballs

Y’all know how much I love beef & my airfryer.

I named my airfryer 💁🏼‍♀️His name is Albert. If you’ve been following me for a bit you know I name all my plants too🪴💕

After experimenting with all different kinds of ground meats, 85% ground beef is my fav. Just the right amount of fat for my macros, flavor, & texture.

I used to bake meatballs all the time, but fell in love with the crispy edges on meat when cooking in the airfryer. I thought, why the heck not, let’s airfry’em. 

You can add cheese with this recipe or omit if sensitive to dairy. You can also use different kinds of ground meats, have fun with these!! Ground Pork is another fav, if you’re trying to reduce fat use a leaner ground chicken or ground turkey like a 93%

Simple Cheesy Carnivore Meatballs

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs ground beef (I like 85%, idc if it’s grass fed or grain fed. I feel people over complicate things. As long as it agrees with your health, eat it. I prefer grain fed for taste.)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 oz pork rinds ( @epicbar brand baked pork rinds are my fav)
  • 3 oz shredded Italian cheese blend (or whatever you’d like)
  • 1 tsp pink Himalayan sea salt 

Instructions

  • Mix all ingredients in a bowl. 
  • Roll into balls (~1-2 inches in diameter) Should make 24 meatballs.
  • Cook at 350 degrees for 8 minutes. Turn meat balls & cook for another 4 minutes.

Ballpark Macros per 4 meatballs

(These’ll vary depending on your meatball size & what ingredients you include)

Carbs: trace maybe from your cheese

Protein: ~40g

Fat: ~32g

Enjoy y’all!
