Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf (Sugar Free, Gluten Free)

Meatloaf is one of my favorite meals. This is a grain-free, low-carb meatloaf recipe but you could also use my southern meatloaf recipe made with oats here.
Using my basic keto meatloaf recipe, all I needed to do was figure out how to get the bacon wrapped just right and top with a sugar free maple flavored ketchup.
This was not the first recipe I’ve made here wrapping bacon. I’ve done bacon wrapped chicken bites , bacon wrapped hot dogs, and bacon wrapped veggies. I have to agree with most of America that bacon can just make things better.
Ingredients for Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf
- Bacon, thinly sliced
- Ground Beef
- Onion
- Mustard
- Ketchup
- Eggs
- Green Bell Pepper
- Almond Flour
- Garlic Powder
- Cheddar Cheese
- Worcestershire Sauce
- Parsley
- Salt, Pepper
- Sugar Free Maple Syrup
As far as ground beef, I use an 80/20 mix. Leaner cuts have less flavor and can bake a little tough. Use grass fed if you can. If you are doubling the recipe, you can mix various ground meats, such as beef/pork or beef/veal.
If you’re not following a low-carb diet, you can cut a few potatoes in quarters and bake along side the meatloaf, like my mom always did. Or you can serve with cauliflower mash.
